Even though Elias Mokwana had been linked with a move to Europe, the Siya crew has been informed that the likes of Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns still have a chance to sign him.
Siya sources have indicated that the highest bidder from the PSL's three famous clubs, would be the team that could eventually win the signature of the Sekhukhune United player.

A new Siya source has indicated that the R40 million asking fee still stands and that now the ball is in the court of local clubs if they are ready to bid.
"There were two serious offers during the January Transfer Window but because of (the lack of) time things didn't work out very well. But what the team has decided is that the highest bidder will get the player in June at the end of the season," said the Siya source.
"He may not even go to Europe at all. But you remember the team valued the player at R40 million and the only team that could go that far is Mamelodi Sundowns but as I have said, the highest bidder will get the player," the source told Soccer Laduma.
A third Siya source underlined that there is still interest in Mokwana from Europe and that this is from the Belgian league.
"There is a team that is interested in him in Belgium but if their offer is less than the local teams then they will let him stay locally as it will also help him with a Bafana Bafana place as he can fight (for a place) while playing locally.
"So, as it stands now the two teams in the forefront are Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs but you know Sundowns can come in any time and change the face of the deal.
"But Sekhukhune United have made it clear that Elias (Mokwana) will only be released to the highest bidder at the end of the day," the source observed.
Soccer Laduma contacted Sekhukhune United for a comment, and the club has not responded at the time of publishing this story.
