Is Andile Jali headed for AmaZulu?

Former Mamelodi Sundowns star Andile Jali is still without a club but the latest reports suggest that he is not without suitors.

IS ANDILE JALI BOUND FOR AMAZULU?

Jali might find a new home in Durban according to Soccer Laduma.

They report: “AmaZulu FC are amongst the possible destinations for free agent Andile Jali following his unceremonious exit from Moroka Swallows.”

Jali had mounted a legal challenge against his Swallows dismissal.

His legal challenge failed miserably, dismissed with costs.

It gives the 33-year-old something to think about as he considers his future steps.

His stint at Swallows started with promise but has fallen apart.

The fact that he had paired up with former coach Steve Komphela was a great sign for the former Bafana Bafana international, but what looked to be a masterstroke reunion has now dissolved into nothing.

WHY KAIZER CHIEFS MOVE FELL APART

Not long ago, Jali had a chance to join Kaizer Chiefs.

He wouldn’t take the chance though, owing to contract issues.

“Their way of doing contracts at the time, I said no. They did [approach me], they did,” he said on MSWOn947 with Robert Marawa.

“That’s why Kaizer [Motaung Jr] was mentioning it because he knows that he was there also. I never said no to them. It’s just that the contract didn’t go [well] between the two parties. Some agreements were not good.

“At Chiefs, there is a clause [about image rights]. They will own [what you say] on Instagram, Facebook and everything to tell you what to post. It’s not possible. So they can’t tell me my image rights. It was not possible. Yes [that was the deal breaker].”

Jali rubbished reports he didn’t join Chiefs because they wouldn’t give him the No 15 jersey.

“No [there was never such a conversation]. You can’t talk about a number when you don’t have a contract,” he said.

“You have not even arrived at training, but you want to talk about a jersey number? It’s not possible.”
