“It’s a short-term deal they’re offering. Pirates stand a better chance because he prefers to be in Gauteng. Should they agree on the monetary part of the deal, it’s all pointing to Pirates. Stellenbosch did express interest, and it was clear they couldn’t meet his salary demands,” said the source.
