“News that has landed on the Siya crew’s desk indicates that teams from Poland and Norway have enquired about his services. The identity of the teams has not been revealed, as has the extent of their enquiries at this stage. However, due to their respective transfer windows being still open, it is understood the clubs are keen on landing Bafana’s emerging marksman before the deadline,” wrote SoccerLaduma

MAKGOPA COULD MOVE IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT

This follows on from interest expressed in Makgopa from Belgium and France just under a fortnight ago. That came via SuperSport journalist Selebalo Karabo Phasha. The replies to the tweet, unsurprisingly, feature some strong options from Bucs fans. The consensus seems to be that Makgopa is welcome to leave at the right price. The theories range between R30 million and R50 million. Both, and anything in between, are plausible if the right bidders arrive at the table.
