Kaizer Chiefs are planning a significant multi-million rand bid for a prominent Bafana Bafana star as part of their strategy to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. This ambitious move aims to end their nine-year trophy drought and restore the club to its former glory.
Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly gearing up with a R12 million offer to acquire forward Elias Mokwana from Sekhukhune United.
Sources suggest that while Sekhukhune values him closer to R15 million locally, his international market worth is estimated between R25 million to R30 million.
Chiefs’ negotiation reflects the current economic climate, focusing on local conditions despite the higher international valuation. This move underscores their determined effort to strengthen their squad significantly for the upcoming season.
It seems negotiations for Elias Mokwana between Kaizer Chiefs and Sekhukhune United are advancing positively, according to a second insider familiar with the discussions. This indicates that Chiefs’ initial interest in the former Platinum City Rovers player has evolved into active negotiations, suggesting potential progress towards a deal.
“Negotiations are ongoing. Chiefs remain keen, despite interest from Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns,” states the insider. They anticipate positive developments in the coming days, especially as Chiefs prepare for their pre-season camp in Europe with potential plans to include the player in their squad. This indicates a competitive bidding environment as Chiefs pursue their recruitment strategy ambitiously.
When approached for comment, Elias Mokwana’s agent, Pontsho Madumo, clarified that their primary focus in the negotiations revolves around the player’s personal terms rather than the transfer fee itself. Madumo emphasized that Elias is currently under a long-term contract with Sekhukhune United and highlighted that his value has significantly increased since his involvement with the national team. This perspective underscores the importance of ensuring favorable contractual terms for Mokwana amidst the ongoing transfer discussions.
Madumo goes on to add: “His journey from obscurity to becoming a Bafana Bafana player has attracted considerable interest. Which is reflected in the inquiries we receive.”
Kaizer Chiefs’ pursuit of Elias Mokwana underscores their commitment to strengthening the squad. And competing at the highest level in the upcoming season. As negotiations progress, all eyes are on Chiefs as they navigate the complexities of securing their target amidst competitive interest from other top clubs.
