Kaizer Chiefs, Pirates and Sundowns fail to match R25m for Bafana star?
It looks like Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns will lose out on Bafana Bafana left-back Fawaaz Basadien. The 28-year-old talented defender has been a prized asset for Stellenbosch FC over the years and it's evident why the club is not willing to let him go for cheap. Last year, Amakhosi's offer was reportedly rejected as it was under R10 million. Mamelodi Sundowns are another team to have tried their luck with Basadien; however, Stellies appear to have named their price. If Kaizer Chiefs or Sundowns are to sign the Bafana star, they need to fork out R25 million. According to Soccer Laduma , Masandawana are keen to push for a final bid as they risk losing Basadien to North African giants. 'Sundowns are aware of interest from other clubs, including from North Africa and that's why it's believed that they are raising their offer to Stellenbosch FC. It could be the highest payment for a local player so far. They are still interested in signing him and will push for the final bid,' a source told Soccer Laduma . The publication also mentioned that Sundowns will look to sell Thembinkosi Lorch to purchase Basadien this transfer window 'They are willing to go as far as between R20 million to R25 million to get him. They are aware that North African countries pay very well and that's why even they are asking Wydad Casablanca for around R20 million for Thembinkosi Lorch. And apparently they are also ready to make it R25 million, plus players as well, to Stellenbosch FC to get Basadien,' the second insider said. The 28-year-old left-back for Bafana Bafana has discussed interest from local teams, including Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns, but has chosen to remain loyal to Stellenbosch FC.
