Chiefs, Pirates interest in Mmodi goes ‘quiet’

*Note: This is an updated article on Mmodi transfer talk

During the last pre-season, it was reported for quite some time that Bafana Bafana playmaker Pule Mmodi was one of the latest stars on Kaizer Chiefs’ target list, but eventually it emerged that he was set to stay with Golden Arrows as negotiations hit a stumbling block.

Ultimately, Mmodi refocused his efforts at Arrows, found good form and fought his way onto the Bafana Bafana radar.

Orlando Pirates were also reportedly interested in the midfielder’s services in the last transfer window, and AmaZulu have also been linked with the 29-year-old, who has now just entered the final six months of his contract with Arrows.

It’s also become apparent that Arrows will not stand in Mmodi’s way if he wanted to sign a pre-contract agreement with any other club. Yet, in the latest news, Mmodi’s agent Solomon Seobe has now told Goal.com that there are no current talks on the go with any other teams.

“Well, it is very quiet now. There are no offers at the moment. I am yet to be approached by any club this month,” Seobe told GOAL.

Recently, Arrows coach Vusumuzi Vilakazi was very transparent about the position of the club.

“I think I have mentioned this before, but I will talk again. Pule can leave the club at any time – if he has an offer. The aim isn’t to keep Pule here,” Vilakazi commented towards the end of last year.

“Maybe I need to make it clear that if there’s an opportunity for the club to make money, he will be sold to any club that wants him. But as long as he is here, like currently as he is our player, there’s nothing we can do. We will work with him because he is prepared to work with us as things stand.”

Interestingly, the player’s agent had previously said that the player’s future will only be discussed during the January transfer window, clearly leaving the door open to new developments.

It still remains to be seen if Mmodi could end up making a move

A few months ago, Mmodi opened up on his emotions after the Chiefs move didn’t materialise.

“I was never disturbed. Since the move didn’t happen, I told myself that I will work hard and there’s nothing I can do,” Mmodi said. “But initially I was down, but there was nothing I could do.”
