The PSL is gearing up for a busy January transfer window.
Rumours around the league
- Orlando Pirates are reportedly leading the race to sign Polokwane winger Oswin Appollis amid Kaizer Chiefs interest.
- Vincent Kompany’s former side Burnley FC are keen on signing PSL star Lucas Ribeiro Costa, however, the 26-year-old is likely to wait for bigger clubs.
- Mamelodi Sundowns have received a R55 million bid for star striker Iqraam Rayners. The Scottish Giants appear keen to sign the 28-year-old this January, however, having only joined Sundowns before the 2024/25 season, a move so soon seems unrealistic.
More on the Rayners situation
“It’s true the offer is there (Rayners) and it’s around R55 million, but you know it’s the Sporting Director (Flemming Berg) who deals with such things,” confirmed a SoccerLaduma source.
“He is the one in charge of the dealings at the club and the others do contracts and daily running only. But as far as the outgoings and the incomings are concerned, it’s the Sporting Director and the offer came through his office but it’s there,
“If Sundowns will counter that offer or they can name their price tag if interested. Because it doesn’t mean the offer that Rangers have tabled or offered is the final one. So, any deal still remains in the hands of Sundowns as they have the final say. But as things stand now they are not ready to let their top striker (Rayners) go just after signing him this season. Even though the R55m offer is there it’s not clear cut that a deal would happen.”
