Itumeleng Khune and Mandla Masango have returned to Kaizer Chiefs with their tails between their legs, asking to renew contract negotiations. Chiefs announced on June 2 that they had discontinued talks with the two players as their demands were unreasonable.Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung said: "Itu and Mandla came [on Monday]."Unfortunately both are still not sure what they want and want to achieve."So we've agreed for them to go home, relax. There's no pressure. When they [know] what they truly want, they can talk to us."Chiefs yesterday presented their new five signings - centre-backs Siyanda Xulu and Daniel Cardoso, strikers Camaldine Abraw and Bongani Ndulula, and left-back Keegan Ritchie.Motaung said Chiefs were likely to make "one or two" more signings.The player Chiefs most want is Bidvest Wits' Sibusiso Vilakazi.Said Motaung: "We've engaged Wits, the agent and the player. There is interest from the player's side but obviously he belongs to Wits. It's up to them if they want to release the player."..
