Kaizer Chiefs Transfers: Gaston Sirino lands new club

Published on by

Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Gaston Sirino has reportedly found himself a new home after failing to reach an agreement with the Glamour Boys.

Sirino, who joined Chiefs as a free agent from Mamelodi Sundowns in 2024, saw his deal come to an end last month and was hoping for fresh terms from the Soweto giants.

However, Chiefs reportedly failed to reach a deal with him and a parting of ways remained as the only solution for the two parties.

Sirino set to reunite with Ben Youssef

According to SABC’s Mazola Molefe, Sirino has now landed a new deal at Durban City where he is set to reunite with ex-Chiefs co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef.

“It is almost a done deal, 90 per cent of the finer details concluded with Durban City and he will be unveiled before the start of the season,” Molefe revealed via a social media post.

Sirino joined Chiefs after seven years at Sundowns where he had been a key player, enjoying great success, and it was hoped that he would light it up at Naturena.

Uruguayan had little impact at Chiefs

However, he became a peripheral figure, first under coach Nassreddine Nabi and then with Ben Youssef as well as his co-coach Cedric Kaze, and made 52 appearances in all competitions for Amakhosi, scoring five goals and adding eight assists.

The Uruguayan playmaker is believed to have favoured a stay at Chiefs but when a new offer was not presented, he had to look for a new home, having been training alone since his contract with the Soweto giants came to an end.
