Kaizer Chiefs Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Jr has dismissed the belief that some clubs in the PSL don't want to sell their players to the Phefeni Glamour Boys.
Amakhosi, who were looking to bounce back after a disappointing 10th-place finish in the last campaign, are currently struggling this season, sitting in sixth place with 18 points.
The team's struggles have prompted their coach, Nasreddine Nabi, who was brought in before the start of the season to restore the club to its former glory, to call for reinforcements during the January transfer window.
However, the club has previously faced challenges in securing some of their preferred signings. Before the start of the season, the Soweto giants were unable to acquire promising Cape Town Spurs centre-back Asanele Velebayi.
Spurs Ceo Alexi Efstathiou would later reveal that Amakhosi had failed to meet the club's asking price.
As a result of their inability to sign key targets, fans have started to believe that some teams in the PSL are unwilling to sell their best players to Chiefs.
However, the club's Sporting Director, Motaung Jr., has dismissed the belief that don't want to sell their top players Chiefs.
"To be fair, I don’t even entertain that we’re here all the other clubs are our partners. We are stakeholders in the league, we need each other. They need us. We need them. And it’s a situation of us coming to negotiations," Motaung Jr said as per iDiski Times.
“They always will have their standpoint. They want to keep their best players. If you had to ask me, anybody coming to ask, you know, ‘sell us Shabalala’, I would say, No.
“It’s part of negotiations. It’s part of the industry. It’s part of the business. They have their goals they want to achieve. We have ours. So it’s about us engaging in a positive way and trying your best you can to achieve the goals.
“So we respect them and respect they respect us. And it’s part of the industry, and you find that, you know, worldwide.”
