Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns now know how much to pay for a top target!
It has previously been reported that Chiefs, Pirates and Sundowns were chasing Sekhukhune United’s Elias Mokwana.
Pirates looked to be the first team that was linked to signing Mokwana. The Buccaneers are credited for scouting the winger, even before he joined Sekhukhune. It is believed the player and his camp believed that move would’ve come too soon for the player at the time. It was not long until Sundowns joined the fray. The belief was that they were confident they could blow any team out of the water for the player. Chiefs were the latest side to come into the conversation.
Although Chiefs seem to have come later, they look to have come with an added advantage. This publication recently reported that Mokwana preferred to join Amakhosi over Pirates and Sundowns. That is because he grew up supporting the club and he believes he is guaranteed more game time at Naturena. The source of the story also conceded that the player has a soft spot for Pirates. Where Sundowns might have the practical edge, however, is on the financial side.
According to a report from iDiski Times, it would take a whopping R35 million to take Mokwana away from Sekhukhune.
R35 million for Mokwana
“Sekhukhune United and Bafana Bafana winger Elias Mokwana envisioned this rise while in the ABC Motsepe League and said his R35-million price tag is not of his concern.Sekhukhune United and Bafana Bafana winger Elias Mokwana envisioned this rise while in the ABC Motsepe League and said his R35-million price tag is not of his concern.” Wrote the publication. They also went on to say they learnt about it from high ranking sources from within Babina Noko.
Chiefs, Pirates and Sundowns all have a chance
Mokwana would’ve done no harm to that price tag, after his goal and assist in two games for Bafana Bafana. It then becomes hard to predict where he will end up, as Chiefs have his, Pirates his brain and Sundowns the money.
