Sekhukhune United have reportedly set a hefty price tag of R35 million for one of their star players amidst interest from several clubs.
Elias Mokwana has been in red-hot form for Babina Noko this season. He has netted two goals and three assists in 12 appearances in the DStv Premiership. He has already won four Man of the Match awards. His impressive performances have naturally attracted attention from both local and foreign clubs.
However, Sekhukhune are not willing to let their prized asset go cheaply. According to reports, the club has slapped an R35 million price tag on the striker. The move makes it clear that they will only entertain serious offers that meet their valuation.
This hefty price tag may deter some potential suitors, but Sekhukhune are confident that they will eventually receive the right offer for their star player. They believe that Mokwana is still young and has the potential to develop into a world-class player, and they are not willing to sell him short.
Several clubs have been linked with a move for Mokwana, including Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns, and Kaizer Chiefs. It remains to be seen whether any club will be willing to meet Sekhukhune United’s asking price and secure the services of the highly-rated forward.
It’s worth noting that the South African transfer window is currently closed, but it will reopen in January. This means any deal for Mokwana would likely have to wait until then. In the meantime, all eyes will be on Sekhukhune to see if they can hold firm on their R35 million valuation or will be forced to lower their asking price to get a deal done.
