Brazilians must raise bid hugely if they want ace midfielder Manyama
Cape Town City owner John Comitis has not ruled out a move to Mamelodi Sundowns for star player Lebogang Manyama, but has told the Brazilians they will need to increase their offer considerably. Comitis has previously said that he would only sell the Bafana Bafana attacking midfielder to Europe‚ but appears to have left the door slightly open for Sundowns to steal in with a little over 24 hours remaining in the transfer window. "We opened discussions with Sundowns because we have to be realistic about having a player here that is not happy‚" Comitis told Business Day. "But the numbers they have proposed are far short of our valuation of the player. If you want the best player in the country then you can’t be offering me what they did."
