Mamelodi Sundowns reject overseas offer for superstar! – report
Mamelodi Sundowns stars were the talk of the town after stellar performances at the Afcon, attracting plenty of interest abroad.
It is no secret that Teboho Mokoena has attracted interest from European clubs, with Al Ahly also in the mix.
After Afcon, it was reported that an English Premier League and French Ligue 1 side were interested in Mokoena.
Mokoena only joined Mamelodi Sundowns in the January transfer window of 2022, coming in from cross-town rivals SuperSport United. Before joining the Brazilians, he was also heavily linked with a move to Kaizer Chiefs. They then seemed to fall out of the race, with a club in Belgium joining and competing with Masandawana. In the end, it was the DStv Premiership champions that bid more and ended up getting his signature.
Since joining Sundowns, Mokoena has been a mainstay on their side. He has also been a transformed player under Rulani Mokwena, with his game going to another level. Since joining the club, he has won three league titles, MTN8, Nedbank Cup and African Football League Cup. Besides Mokwena, he has also found himself as a key cog in Hugo Broos’ Bafana Bafana midfield.
With Mokoena having stellar performances for Bafana Bafana throughout Afcon, it’s no surprise that he would garner international interest. Now according to The Citizen, Sundowns have already turned down an early bid from abroad, for the player.
Sundowns reject overseas offer for Mokoena
“It was not a great offer (for Mokoena), but Sundowns would not even consider it. At least (you should) look at it,”. Said the source to the publication.
This publication reported earlier in the year that Mokoena’s agent Glyn Binkin had and the player spoke to Sundowns. This was at the time that he signed for the club, where they made it clear that he has ambitions to go play abroad. According to Binkin, then club said they would not stand in his way if an acceptable; offer came through.
Deal abroad still possible?
It is probably for this reason that Sundowns have rejected this bad offer from the unknown club. They know Mokoena’s worth and are going to fight to get what they deserve.
