Kaizer Chiefs Set to Make Another Bid as Player Speak on Transfer interest
Kaizer Chiefs’ first offer for Fawaaz Basadien was reportedly rejected by Stellenbosch FC. Amakhosi are looking to make another bid.
Kaizer Chiefs target Fawaaz Basadien says his focus is helping Stellenbosch this season despite reports linking him with an exit.
Stellies have rejected Amakhosi’s first offer for 27-year-old left-back and made it clear that Basadien was not for sale. Having helped the Cape Winelands team reach the final, the defender was called to the Bafana Bafana squad ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Speaking to the media, Basadien acknowledged Kaizer Chiefs’ interest but made it clear that he was committed to Stellies.
“For me personally, I think it’s to control what I can control,” he said.
” Obviously, I am contracted to Stellenbosch. That’s where I am playing, so all I can do is put in good performances week in and week out.” He added, “I am there to do a job, never mind what’s going around the media.
Basadien not bothered by Kaizer Chiefs links
Obviously, it’s good to have a club like Chiefs interested in you, but I am contracted to Stellenbosch and my focus has been there and just to put in good performances week in and week out.”
Kaizer Chiefs are not giving up on Basadien and are reportedly looking to table a second offer. The Soweto giants were also eyeing AmaZulu left-back Riaan Hanabum but the Namibian star has since extended his stay with Usuthu.
Last week, Stellenbosch CEO Rob Benadie said he had no intention Fawaaz Basadien to Kaizer Chiefs or any other local team. It remains to be seen if Amakhosi will table a better offer in the coming weeks.
Should Amakhosi increase their offer for Basadien?
