Sekhukhune United chairman Simon Malatji has responded to overseas offers that have come in for left back Vuyo Letlapa, hinting that the player is unlikely to move now.
Recent reports have suggested that the former Jomo Cosmos defender has attracted interest from Europe, particularly in Austria where there has been an official offer made for the 21-year-old.

Babina Noko have reportedly rejected an offer from Austria Wien for the Bafana Bafana international, with Rapid Wien believed to also be interested in having him on board.
“Yes, offers came forth. However, we realized that he still needs to remain, either now or next season, so that he can be better quality. It’s always our call that anyone who wants to grow must be given an opportunity,” Malatji told media after the club announced the renewal of their partnership with kit sponsor Kelme on a three-year deal on Monday morning.
Letlapa also got an opportunity to talk to the media at the event and gave his feelings on the interest in his services. He believes he is ready to make a move, but remains patient that it will come at the right time.
"I think a move is something that changes my life. A lot of people when I arrived at Sekhukhune said I might not be ready, but then I proved that I am ready. Even when I go overseas, if it's possible, then settling is not impossible. As long as I get the help that I need, then I can do well. I am ready."

"I believe being overseas, when the time is right, I will go there. It's everyone's dream to go overseas. I believe I will, when the time is right."
