Kaizer Chiefs Sporting Director revealed they were interested in Bafana and Stellies Defender

Amakhosi have made attempt twice to secure the service of Bafana Bafana and Stellenbosch FC left back.

But their price was not good enough to convince the Meroon to sell their left back Fawaaz Basadien.

During the Interview with Robert Marawa on 947 fm, Motaung Jr revealed that they made another offer after the first one was rejected.

Stellies CEO Rob Benadie made it clear that he don’t want to lose another key player after they lost the service of Deano van Rooyen and Iqraam Rayners.

Motaung Jr said “If you remember Rob Benadie’s comments, the CEO of Stellenbosch, he’s just waiting for the transfer window to close because it’s so destabilising.

“I can imagine from a Stellies perspective, testament to them because Stellies did a tremendous job in recruitment, because everyone is talking about Stellenbosch players.

“So, again, a top talent, great to see him in the international fold the other camp. I think he’s got great attributes. I don’t think there’s another team in the country that wouldn’t want Basadien, he has a great certain profile.

“A club of our nature wants to have quality players. We’ve had discussions with Rob, it’s not a secret, we made an offer to Rob before.

“He made it very clear about the price he had on Fawaaz. Again, when we re-engaged him again on the price, he made it clear they also want some stability.

“They lost Deano to Pirates, they lost Iqraam, Oura is gone now also. They also need to keep hold of certain players and our people need to understand it’s a two-way street, other clubs also want to keep their best players.”

Kaizer Chiefs have since shifted their focus on the Bradley Cross who has signed with the team and will play on the left back.
