It looks like Leaner is about to have a new experience after Sekhukhune United signed a lot of names

Sekhukhune United appear ready to part ways with in-form goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner following their double swoop for international shot-stoppers Toaster Nsabata (Zambia) and Manuel Sapunga (Equatorial Guinea). The 27-year-old South African, whose late-season heroics propelled Sekhukhune to a top-four finish, now finds himself surplus to requirements despite his recent Bafana Bafana call-up.

Leaner's spectacular campaign – including a nine-save masterclass against Mamelodi Sundowns – hasn't gone unnoticed, with Kaizer Chiefs' coach Nasreddine Nabi reportedly among his admirers. Yet despite Amakhosi's well-documented goalkeeping woes, no formal approach has materialized for the keeper who outperformed since-departed international colleagues Badra Sangare and Lloyd Kazapua.

While Sekhukhune defender Daniel Cardoso boasts about their "exceptionally competitive" goalkeeping roster, Chiefs continue scrambling for solutions between the posts. With Leaner's nine goals conceded in nine games (including two clean sheets) showcasing his reliability, the transfer saga presents a curious paradox: an available talent in his prime, yet no takers at the table.
