Kaizer Chiefs finally announced the exit of Gaston Sirino, who had served the Soweto Giants for two seasons after joining from Mamelodi Sundowns on a free transfer.
The 35-year-old was part of the Amakhosi squad that won the Nedbank Cup in his debut season with the club, but struggled to deliver for the club consistently. Reports are rife that Chiefs wanted him to stay but the new package did not impress him.
The Uruguayan has since been unveiled by Durban City, who are coached by Khalil Ben Youssef. The Citizens will represent the country in the CAF Confederation Cup alongside Amakhosi. Tashreeq Morris is another player who has joined City.
Have a look at what the fans have said regarding the move, as sampled by Afrik-Foot.

Gaston Sirino was already finished when he joined Kaizer Chiefs. Now give jersey No. 10 to Mfundo Vilakazi – Mlueh Motheo
Sirino is better than Ashley du Preez and Khanyisa Mayo combined. Now, explain the logic of letting him go and keeping them – Tenyane
We only see players who are leaving the club. Where are the players being signed? – Adolph Malope
Apparently, Gaston Sirino is leaving because he did not like the new home kit lol – Mar D D Magolide
Maybe they should have proposed a reduced salary/salary cut and given him a one-year contract extension; maybe he would have agreed, unlike Khama Billiat – Robert Chauke
This one is going to haunt us!

So you plan to announce one player leaving every week and sign nobody, just to look active during the transfer window? – Joseph Rat
