Siyabonga Ngezana hasn’t been in Romania for long, but the ex-Kaizer Chiefs defender could be on his way to an even more illustrious league.

27-year-old Siyabonga Ngezana joined the Romanian giants FCSB from Kaizer Chiefs at the start of this campaign for roughly €600,000. Now, his new side could already be entertaining ideas of moving him on for a massive profit.
FC Lorient are among the suitors for Ngezana’s signature and Becali won’t stand in his way, at least until they wrap up the domestic title.
“No, they asked me how much [he] costs but I didn’t say a penny now,” he said on the Fanatik SuperLiga show.
“It’s a team from France, but they don’t make prices on players before the championship is over. At least let the transfer period come. Any player with me is for sale.
“Ngezana and Vasilescu and Georgescu and Ionescu and Popescu. Everyone, anyone is for sale at the right price.”
With Lorient focused on strengthening their group for a potential relegation battle in Ligue 1, they could make a move in January. FCSB will hold out for €6 million, judging by the words of their president.

Ngezana responds to the rumours
“It [French transfer links] makes me feel appreciated, the recognition for the hard work I’ve been putting in,” Ngezana told FARPost‘s Tokelo Mokhesi.
“I am aware of the links, but so far, I don’t have a solid offer. I haven’t been approached. Yes, my president [Gigi Becali] is talking about it, and you know, there is no smoke without fire. But there is no offer on the table.”
