Velebayi to Chiefs?
Cape Town winger Asenele Velebayi is one of Bafana Bafana’s most promising prospects, so much so that he is one of Kaizer Chiefs’ top targets.
The Soweto side tried – on several occasions – to land the twenty-year-old during the offseason, but the Western Cape team valued their offers as being too low.
The wingers agent, Lance Davids, provided some insight, saying, “So, of course, there was a lot of back and forth – Kaizer Chiefs put in an offer, and the value was too low for Cape Town Spurs,
“Chiefs came back with a second offer and gave, in my opinion, a valuation that was very fair with add-ons, and they also didn’t accept that. They thought the valuation was low, and then they stopped just there.
“In my opinion, I thought the valuation that Cape Town Spurs was looking at for Velebayi, compared to Oswin Appollis, it’s a no-brainer – you can’t compare [the two players’ value]. At this point, what did Oswin achieved in the last year?
“So I think the valuation of Velebayi was crazy; I think Chiefs, to be honest, was very fair on their proposal and, in my opinion, they could have still add some more add-ons.
“Of course, they did not because they thought they were also fair on their proposal, and the deal fell through… I’ll be honest, at first Cape Town Spurs wanted R12 million, they came down to R10 million, and Chiefs’ offer was R5 million plus players.”
