The Latest On Kodisang To Chiefs Talks Revealed

Mike Makaab, the agent of Kobamelo Kodisang, has revealed the status of Kaizer Chiefs’ talks with the player.

Kodisang, 22,  is currently under contract to Portuguese side SC Braga, who exercised a two-year option to extend the player’s contract.

However, Makaab revealed that Kodisang wants to play first-team football and if Braga cannot guarantee that, the player is keen on moving on, while also dismissing rumours about his poor relationship with Kaizer Chiefs.

“Braga did exercise their two-year option but we did know they were going to do it,” he told Simtho Dladla on GagasiFM.

“Because they’ve spent three years developing KK. We’ve made it clear to them that if they don’t see him as a member of their first-team squad, we want him out of the club – either on loan or a permanent transfer.

“Is it possible that he can come back to South Africa? Of course it is. Have we been in discussions with Kaizer Chiefs? Yes, we have.

“Again, it’s very difficult to finalise anything and they [Chiefs] understand that, they are mature. I have a fantastic relationship with the club.

“I often say to the supporters, ‘speak to them, don’t speak to me’. [They ask me] ‘why don’t we [Prosport] have players at the club?’ I can’t tell you, but what I can tell you is that when Chiefs won back-to-back titles, Prosport had a big contingent of players in their starting line-up and in their squad.

“For supporters to think that over that period, the six-year period, something has happened to our relationship is absolute nonsense.”

Makaab also stated that Chiefs are the only South African club Prosport International have offered Kodisang to and that coming back home is a possibility for the attacking player.

“Yes, we are working on KK, it’s difficult,” he continued.

“I can tell you that at this point in time, there is only one South African football club we’re taking to. And the reason is, they’re the club we’ve engaged.

“I’m hoping to, I would say that in the next couple of weeks, I’m hoping we can do something to KK outside of Braga.

“Coming back home is a possibility. We’ve been discussing it with Kaizer Chiefs, yes.

“Football deals are complex, they’re not easy. We’ve spoke to the player, we’ve spoke to the football club in Portugal and when I saw ‘we’ve spoken to Chiefs, ‘we’ve engaged’ with Chiefs.

“You must understand that until Braga give us the go-ahead we cannot take that engagement to a formal level.”

Kodisang made his senior debut for Braga, when he came off the bench in a 0-0 draw with Estoril Praia in April.
