Mochudi Centre Chiefs say negotiations for contract extension with attacking midfielder, Ronaldo Fortune are underway.

Fortune was instrumental in leading Magosi, as the team is known, to the Orange FA Cup final and a top four finish. He finished among the leading top goal scorers in the Orange FA Cup. Fortune’s contract will come to an end in December. Amid speculations linking him with a move away from the Kgatleng giants, the club’s general manager, Owe Mmolawa told Sport Monitor that contract talks for renewal are ongoing. However, despite assurances about the player’s stay at Chiefs, a source has told Sport Monitor that the 27 year-old forward could be on his way out of the club, with growing interest from several top-flight clubs ahead of the expiry of his contract in December. “He has attracted attention from a number of clubs in the Betway Premiership in South Africa.

There are also two FNB Premiership clubs that are monitoring his situation and are keen on securing his signature,” the source said. Fortune has previously featured for Chiefs before leaving to pursue college football opportunities in Unites States of America (USA), where he played for South Carolina United (SCU) Heat. After a spell playing semi-professional football abroad, he returned home and rejoined Maaparankwe on a two-year contract in January 2025, where he has since revived his career. Fortune has made significant contributions to the squad, including scoring crucial goals against Township Rollers and TAFIC, and leading Chiefs to the final of the Orange FA Cup where they lost to Jwaneng Galaxy. According to a source, one of his biggest ambitions was to earn a place in the Zebras squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals. However, he narrowly missed out on being selected. “He struggled for regular game time during Pontsho Moloi’s tenure as head coach.

The issue is now creating a cat-and-mouse type of a...
