Orlando Pirates target Stephane Aziz Ki will stay put at Yanga SC despite a tempting offer from the Buccaneers.
AZIZ KI STAYS LOYAL DESPITE ORLANDO PIRATES INTEREST
Young Africans SC star Stephane Aziz Ki, a full Burkina Faso international, has rejected a pre-contract offer from Pirates. Born in the Ivory Coast, Stephane Aziz Ki has 12 caps and two goals for the Burkinabes. This season, the 28-year-old has 20 direct goal contributions in the Tanzanian Premier League. He also has two goals and two assists from 12 outings in the CAF Champions League. This guy knows his way to the goal.
“I have no expectations of leaving Yanga because I have not achieved the goals that brought me here. This club, which I love with all my heart, still owes me, and even money cannot fill my for this club,” said Aziz Ki on his future after links with Pirates as per The Citizen.
Could Jose Riveiro’s men change his stance with a monthly salary offer that’s too good to refuse? According to SoccerLaduma, Aziz Ki is bagging €11,000 a month. That’s roughly R222k.
MLS SIDE KEEN ON PIRATES TARGET
In other rumours, Local outlet Soccer-Laduma believes that Pirates target Thabo Moloisane is a wanted man in the United States MLS. The 25-year-old centre-back has been a key figure for Stellenbosch this season, appearing 19 times in the league as the Cape Winelands club makes an unlikely push for the CAF Champions League places.
“According to Siya sources, Thabo Moloisane, who is a subject of interest from Orlando Pirates, could be moving abroad. And the Siya Crew has learnt that the player’s future could well lie beyond the PSL. Moloisane has seen his stock rise over the last two seasons with Maritzburg United and now Stellenbosch FC, which has seen the likes of Orlando Pirates and AmaZulu pay close attention to the 25-year-old’s talents. Now, Siya sources have indicated that a potential move for Moloisane to the MLS could be on the cards although on condition that the offer is deemed good enough by Stellies.”
