Kaizer Chiefs have made a substantial move to sign Polokwane City’s star winger, Oswin Appollis. After his potential transfer to Algerian club MC Alger fell through due to disagreements between Polokwane City and the North African team, Chiefs quickly acted by submitting a bid exceeding R10 million. Chiefs have already agreed on personal terms with Appollis, and they are now waiting for Polokwane City to finalize the deal.
Chiefs’ strategic bid and Improved offer.
45min.co.za reported exclusively that Kaizer Chiefs planned to enhance their initial offer for Appollis. By Wednesday afternoon, Chiefs formally submitted this improved proposal during a pivotal meeting. Now, the decision lies with Polokwane City’s management to evaluate whether they will accept the enticing offer.
Earlier negotiations with Algerian club MC Alger failed due to complications over the financial structure of their deal. Polokwane City had requested a larger upfront payment, leading to difficulties as the Algerian transfer window closed. This left an opening for Chiefs, who acted swiftly to capitalise on the opportunity.
Polokwane City’s dilemma: Will they accept lucrative offer?
The ball is now in Polokwane City’s court. The club’s decision-makers must weigh the substantial offer from Chiefs against their own valuation of Appollis. This decision will be crucial in determining whether one of the most coveted talents in South African football will make a move to Amakhosi.
Appollis has been in stellar form, recently scoring a brace for Bafana Bafana in a crucial African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Sudan. His performance contributed significantly to a 3-2 victory, underscoring his value and potential.
In addition to his on-field success, Appollis has already agreed to personal terms with Kaizer Chiefs. This agreement sets the stage for a potential transfer, marking a significant career move for the winger.
