Kaizer Chiefs' declaration last year that Itumeleng Khune had penned his last playing contract, before subsequently honouring him for long service, has created suspense around the future of the veteran goalkeeper.
While doubts hang over what will happen next, KickOff.com looks through the contracts that Khune has had as a first-team player at the club.

The first contract that Khune signed upon being promoted to the first team was a three-year deal that was due to run up to June 2007.
However, prior to the expiry of that deal, he was offered a four-year contract.
Once he made his first-team debut and delivered a superb first season in the first team, which led to him breaking into the Bafana Bafana team, the terms were improved with the contract stretched up to 2012.
Khune was called up for Bafana within three months of playing his first official senior match for Chiefs in August 2007 and went to the 2008 AFCON finals in Ghana as third choice behind Rowen Fernandez and Moeneeb Josephs.
Immediately after that AFCON, Khune jumped to the front of the Bafana queue after making his senior national team debut and was firmly first choice when he played all the games at the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup.
Though he started the season leading to the 2010 World Cup with an injury, he still deservedly made his way back to reclaim his place as the Bafana first choice.
Talk of overseas popped up during that time and with his contract running up at the end of the 2011/12, speculation dominated the headlines.
In January 2012, he signed a new three-year deal that pushed him into the top tier of earners in domestic football.
Deserved.
With that contract expiring in June 2015, it meant talk of Khune leaving resurfaced.
After a straining process which included change of agents, common ground was reached with Khune being catapulted to the highest earner position to be pegged at R7 million per annum.
That massive deal had options and was extended until it ran up in 2021 when Khune was handed a two-year deal.
Then in June 2023, Chiefs announced that the veteran keeper had signed his last contract as a player.

That deal is up at the end of June.
Khune has now without doubt earned the most money from Chiefs through combined value of the contracts that he has signed.
