Speaking to Goal, Maphosa refused to be drawn into revealing the names of the teams that were interested in Castro.

“There have been inquiries on Castro. However, I can’t disclose where those inquiries are from, but there are inquiries for Castro,” Maphosa told Goal.

“If we do that then we would be jeopardising the discussions.”

Indications are that Castro will be sold by Chiefs before the start of the 2019/20 season, but it remains to be seen as to where the lanky striker will apply his trade next season.
