Orlando Pirates have a multimillion offer to consider, the Siya crew being told that CS Maritimo has tabled a bid for striker Justin Shonga.
News that the Portuguese outfit were after his services emerged last month as the frustrated forward looks to make a fresh start, though the final decision on what is believed to be a R15-million proposal rests with the club.

The Buccaneers have used the Zambian hitman, but he remains contracted to the club for at least another two years.
His agent, Karabo Mathang, confirmed to the Siya crew on June 29 that the Portuguese Primeira Liga club were keen to lure the striker to Europe. She did, however, make it clear that the two clubs would have to open talks for a potential move to materialise.
Siya sources have indicated that CS Maritimo are so serious that they have offered Pirates around R15-million to take Shonga off their hands.
"There has been an enquiry for Shonga from Maritimo in Portugal, however the decision rests with Orlando Pirates, where he currently has a contract. The onus is on the interested party to approach his club and then we can take it from there," Mathang said at the time.

It remains to be seen whether Pirates will cash in, especially in this current economic climate and when such a massive transfer fee would go a long way.
Shonga does not appear to be in the plans of coach Josef Zinnbauer and indications are that the player is ready for a fresh start elsewhere.
