Latest: Chiefs’ Matlou Contract Talks
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – MAY 01: George Matlou during the Soweto Derby press conference at Melrose Arch on May 01, 2025 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
A few weeks ago, when Kaizer Chiefs departed for their pre-season training camp in the Netherlands, reports suggested the club had reached an agreement on a one-year contract extension with one of their midfielders.
However, insiders close to the team have indicated that despite initial progress, no formal contract has yet been signed between Amakhosi and George Matlou, whose previous deal expired on 30 June.

Sources with reliable information stated that financial terms have become the sticking point in finalizing the midfielder’s new deal.
“The negotiations started and the player was offered a one-year extension, but it’s believed the talks hit a snag due to financial details in the contract, which all the involved parties need to agree upon as it’s supposed to be an improved contract from the one he signed three years ago when he joined the club. That’s what is holding up the final agreement and signing of the new contract,” the insider told Soccer Laduma.
Despite these complications, a second source stated that both the club’s management and technical team remain committed to retaining the player for the upcoming season.

“He is believed to be in the coach’s plans and he is believed to have made it known to management, and that’s why they are looking at finalising the negotiations and tying him to the club for at least one more year,” the second insider revealed.
Matlou joined Amakhosi in 2022 from Moroka Swallows after a stint in Portugal. The 27-year-old midfielder has made a fair amount of Betway Premiership appearances during his three-year tenure at Naturena.
Soccer Laduma contacted Chiefs for comment regarding the contract negotiations but received no response at the time of publishing.

Musona joins Scottland FC, reuniting with Billiat and brother Walter
Ex-Kaizer Chiefs star Knowledge Musona has joined Scottland FC, where he reunites with his boyhood teammate Khama Billiat and brother, Walter Musona.
The 35-year-old was released by Saudi Pro League side Al-Okhdood at the end of the 2024/25 season. As a result, he joins the ambitious Castle Lager Premier Soccer League side, Scottland FC as a free agent.
He spent one season in Al-Okhdood’s books, where he scored five goals and provided three assists in 30 appearances. His arrival at Scottland FC has ultimately sent major waves across Zimbabwe’s PSL.
The former Chiefs gunslinger will combine with Billiat and his brother Walter in Scottland FC’s title bid in their maiden season in the elite league. Billiat and Walter Musona have been lowly in terms of goals.
KNOWLEDGE MUSONA JOINS FORCES WITH KHAMA BILLIAT AT SCOTTLAND FC
Musona and Billiat are products of Harare-based Aces Youth Soccer Academy. Statistically, they were part of Zimbabwe’s most successful era. The duo helped The Warriors qualify for the AFCON editions in 2017, 2019 and 2021.
They will hope to reproduce the same feat at Scottland FC. The arrival of ‘The Smiling Assassin’ could inject a new energy into the team, crucially, in the remaining 11 games of the season. This will be the first time Knowledge will share the same dressing room, at club level, with his brother Walter, who played for Polokwane City in the Betway Premiership.
Details regarding the length of Musona’s contract are yet to be revealed. He will be available for selection against FC Platinum on Saturday. Musona was unveiled on Monday during half-time of Scottland FC’s clash against Yadah FC at Rufaro Stadium in Harare.
In addition, Musona’s arrival at Scottland FC comes at a crucial moment, as he is expected to be active ahead of the 2025 AFCON tournament.
Musona, who initially retired from international football in May 2022, rescinded his decision and is in line for the 2025 AFCON.
In South Africa, he is considered to be one of the best Zimbabwean strikers ever to grace the Betway Premiership. He scored over 40 goals with 19 assists in his name at Chiefs. Musona also accounted for multiple awards, including the coveted PSL Golden Boot Award.

Women’s Euro 2025 final: England stuns Spain in penalties to earn second straight Euro title
England came into Sunday’s UEFA Euro 2025 final looking for revenge — and got it. Two years after losing to Spain in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the Lionesses defeated Spain in penalties, 1(3) – 1(1), to take home back-to-back Euro titles.
English keeper Hannah Hampton notched two outstanding saves to tee up the victory. Chloe Kelly’s decisive penalty kick completed the Lionesses’ title defense.
In a frantic, exciting game, the two European powerhouses battled to control the pace. Spain struck first off a stunning sequence in the 25th minute, ending with a masterful header from Mariona Caldentey. La Roja’s tactical strength was on display in this game, as the Spaniards kept the ball moving through England’s defense.
England, who spent the entire tournament coming from behind, kept up the pressure in the second half. The Lionesses were rewarded with a goal in the 57th minute, as Alessia Russo’s stellar header sent the ball into the corner of the goal.
The score held, sending the game into extra time. And in the end, it came down to the penalty kicks.

Though an early miss from Beth Mead, who had to retake her penalty after slipping, threatened to ruin England’s chances, Hampton recorded key saves against Caldentey and reigning Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmatí. Niamh Charles, who subbed into the game in stoppage time, and Alex Greenwood scored the other penalties for England, before Kelly brought it home.
England has had an incredible run of luck and grit this tournament, coming from behind in all three knockout stage games to eventually win in extra time. Sunday was the team’s second penalty shootout in the 2025 Euros — and, once again, England emerged victorious.

The Lionesses put their bodies on the line for this one: Lucy Bronze, a key piece of England’s Euro run, went down multiple times Sunday with a thigh injury that had seemed to bother her for multiple games. Postgame, Bronze revealed to BBC that she had played the entire tournament with a fractured tibia — a sacrifice that is very on-brand for the tough veteran defender.
No matter the consequences, that sacrifice has paid off: Three years after taking home England’s first major title in 50 years (men or women), the Lionesses have done it again.

Princess Charlotte Joins Prince William for a Sweet Soccer Sunday Abroad
A Sunday father-daughter date is always a good idea—especially when it involves cheering on your country in a major championship match.
Princess Charlotte joined Prince William for a surprise appearance in Switzerland, where the two took in the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 final between England and Spain. It marked a milestone outing for the 10-year-old royal as her very first overseas soccer game.
Prince William’s appearance was part of his official role as president of the Football Association. He headed to St. Jakob-Park in Basel to cheer on the Lionesses, England’s women’s national team, in the high-stakes final.
In recent years, William has been an outspoken supporter of the team, making visits to their training grounds and even traveling to their earlier EURO match against the Netherlands on July 9.
This is not the first time the royal has brought his and Princess Kate’s children along for a major sporting event. Just two weeks earlier, Princess Charlotte and Prince George joined their parents for the Wimbledon men’s final, watching from the Royal Box.
The family came dressed for the occasion and wore coordinating shades of blue. Prince William and Prince George matched in suits and ties, while the Princess of Wales opted for a powder-blue short-sleeved dress.
Princess Charlotte, on the other hand, wore a white ruffled sundress and had her hair tied back in a braid, finished with a light blue bow that mirrored her mom’s ensemble.

A New ‘Golden Generation’? FOX Sports Crew Discuss Spain’s Recent Dominance
Does it feel Spain has been at the center of the soccer world in recent years? Between its men’s and women’s teams, La Roja has certainly been the sport’s major force.
Part of the reason for women’s team dominance has been star players playing a lot of games together across club and country. Star duo Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmatí have led Barcelona to two Champions League titles in 2023 and 2024.
“There’s a lot of Barça players on this pitch, they’re familiar with each other,” said FOX Sports analyst Ari Hingst, who won four Euro titles and three World Cups with Germany. “You know the running patterns, six of them are in the starting XI today, and that definitely helps.”
FOX Sports analyst and U.S. women’s team legend Carli Lloyd pointed to Spain’s midfield as the catalyst for their success.
“I look at the Spanish midfielders as the best midfielders in the world. They provide linkup play for one another,” Lloyd said. “I look at it as the golden generation like Barcelona men’s players – Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets – it’s amazing to see.”

Spain is aiming for its first Euro title – and its third straight trophy – on Sunday, having already defeated England at the 2023 Women’s World Cup. The team has also won the 2024 Nations League crown.
As for the men’s team, they’ll be among the favorites next year at the 2026 World Cup (watch all games on FOX). Behind teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, the team has also had recent success with winning the 2023 Nations League and 2024 Euro.

Congolese striker Fiston Mayele has received a lucrative offer to leave Pyramids in the current transfer window, according to a former Egypt star.
Former footballer Ahmed Shoubier, who is now in the media, has revealed the Congolese striker is close to leaving the CAF Champions League holders.
Read: NEW: Pyramids Find Mayele ‘Replacement’
Despite the links with Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs, it is believed Mayele could be on his way to the Saudi Pro League.
“I asked the officials at Pyramids about the fate of the Congolese striker Fiston Mayele, and they told me that Fiston” Mayeli is strongly tipped to leave the team, the player has received a very tempting offer from Saudi Arabia, and he is closer to leaving now,” Shoubier told On FM Sport.
“Honestly, I was very surprised and asked them how they would agree to his departure as he is one of the stars and top scorers of the team.
“They told me that the player is adamant about leaving after receiving a very strong Saudi offer, and he will not be with us in the upcoming season.”
Soubier has added that Pyramids are looking at signing a replacement for Mayele.
“Pyramids are thinking of acquiring a strong striker, and here I want to clarify that I am not linking Wisam Abu Ali with Pyramids because there is no relation, and the talk will start to increase, but Wisam is already going to the American league,” he added.

Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has reportedly made a new salary demand to the club during negotiations for a new deal.
The Brazilian’s current deal with the Madrid outfit expires in 2027, but the club are eager to extend his contract to avoid any problems next year.

However, reports in Spain claim the two parties are not close to reaching an agreement on terms for the extension.
According to Cadena COPE, Vinicius wants to earn excess of €25million a year from the new contract, which would put him in the same bracket as Kylian Mbappe.
With talks currently on hold, reports claim that teams in the Saudi Pro League are keeping close tabs on the situation, having previously made attempts to sign the Brazilian winger.
Vinicius, however, stated last month that he hopes to stay in the Spanish capital for many years.
“I hope I can stay here for many years. I’ve always said it’s the club of my life. I’m very happy with the coach and the staff, I hope I can stay,” the player said, as per Mundo Deportivo.
“I have a two year contract until 2027. I want to stay for my entire career and make history in this team.”
