Kaizer Chiefs yet to make formal approach for Mmodi

Pule Mmodi’s agent claims that AmaZulu is the only side that has made a formal approach for the player. Whether or not he’s trying to drive up interest in his client from other parties remains to be seen. Here’s what Mmodi’s agent, Solomon Seobe, has said:

“Kaizer Chiefs never approached us, and we haven’t sat down with Arrows to talk about [contract extension].

“AmaZulu always wanted Pule, even before Kaizer Chiefs, and now they want him in January. As for Kaizer Chiefs, I didn’t hear anything.

“They are aware that his contract is coming to an end at the end of June, so from January on, they will be able to negotiate a pre-contract or approach Arrows to sign him.”

This seems to be yet another transfer saga brewing at Naturena, considering that they’ve also yet to agree terms on a new contract for Njabulo Blom. Amakhosi fans, is Mmodi an essential piece in the puzzle for your club going forward?
