Thembinkosi Lorch's Kaizer Chiefs Move Unlikely As Wydad Casablanca Option Emerges

With the transfer deadline fast approaching, Thembinkosi Lorch s proposed move to Kaizer Chiefs appears unlikely.

Reports over the weekend indicated that Amakhosi had approached Mamelodi Sundowns to discuss a deal for the former Orlando Pirates forward .

However, SABC Sport now reports that Sundowns have offered to loan Lorch to Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca , currently coached by Rulani Mokwena. Wydad have been given until Friday to make a decision, while Lorch remains eager to leave.

Mamelodi Sundowns are reportedly hesitant to strengthen Chiefs, a direct rival, for the second half of the Betway Premiership season. Instead, they see Wydad as a fitting destination for the 31-year-old, particularly as it would reunite him with Mokwena, who previously worked with Lorch at Orlando Pirates.

This move could also allow Lorch to test himself in a new league, with Wydad being one of Africa's most successful clubs.
