As reported in this week’s edition of Soccer Laduma, Chiefs have approached Bidvest Wits for the services of Thabang Monare, hedging their bets in hopes that their transfer ban is overturned.
Monare is rated as one of the best midfielders in the Premier Soccer League and according to his market value on transfermarkt.com, he is currently ranked as the fifth most expensive midfielder in Mzansi.
The 30-year-old is valued at €725 000 (±R14.2m), though his millions did take a dip due to the three month break in football. Prior to the lockdown, the midfielder’s figures were at €900 000 (±R17.64 million).
