PSL Transfer: Chiefs hit snug with Phili, Mokoena attracts Saudi Clubs & More!

Kaizer Chiefs are finding it hard to land the signature of Stellenbosch winger Langelihle Phili as the Maroons reportedly value the player for R16 million.

In early June, the Chiefs were reportedly showing interest in the 21-year-old and willing to bring him to Naturena. According to FARPOST, the Soweto giants have finally submitted their bid to Stellies that was rejected.

Amakhosi offered former Cape Winelands player Ashely Du Preez, George Matlou who has left the club and a substantial cash sum, but Stellenbosch rejected the offer.

However, Chiefs will not give up on pursuing Phili, as the club is hoping to find common ground with Stellies. It is also reported that rivals Orlando Pirates are showing interest in signing the player.

The Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana star is being monitored by Saudi clubs Al-Taawoun and Al-Ettifaq. Both clubs are reportedly showing serious interest in the 29-year-old midfielder. With growing transfer speculation across the Saudi Pro League ahead of the upcoming window, reports suggest continued scouting interest from both clubs.
