Motaung: I don't know what Sundowns are talking about

Cape Town - Kaizer Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung has cast doubt about reports linking Khama Billiat with a R15 million return to Mamelodi Sundowns.

Billiat has been linked with a move back to Sundowns after just one season with the Glamour Boys.

In a report on Tuesday, the Brazilians acting general manager Yogesh Singh revealed that talks were advancing with regard the 28-year-old making his return to Chloorkop.

Nonetheless, Motaung, affectionately nicknamed 'Bobsteak' for his love of food and for the fact he controls Chiefs' purse strings in the transfer market, indicated that Singh's statement was misleading.

He told Goal: "I'm not going to say anything about those things. As Chiefs, we haven't said anything.

"There is nothing I am going to say about Khama Billiat. I don't know what those guys [Sundowns] are talking about. Thank you."

The Zimbabwe ace scored 14 goals in all competitions in 2018/19 but it was not enough to earn Amakhosi any silverware.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
