18 appearances for FCSB led to interest from French Lig 1 side Lorient, and the deal could be around R12.3 million.
“FCSB defender Siyabonga Ngezana has attracted interest from Ligue 1 side FC Lorient after an impressive start to life in Romania,” wrote Mzansi’s leading reporter Lorenz Kohler.

“Sources close to the player confirmed the interest but stated the Romanian club is looking for a fee in the region of € 6 million [R122.3 million].
“Should any deal materialise, Chiefs will benefit from the potential move, as they hold a 10% sell-on clause, as reported by iDiski Times in October,” the report added.

“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.
“The change of environment, from Chiefs to Romania, was not easy, but it is a process. Being linked with a move to Ligue 1 also makes me push harder in terms of hard work and not give up.
“You know, talent alone is not enough; you need to work hard and make a lot of sacrifices to play every week and perform well.
“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.”
