The statement also added that the club was not considering to move Billiat to the Sundowns in return for money or other players as reported this week.
The Chiefs said that an official of the Sundowns misrepresented them and caused confusion and uncertainty to the fans and shareholders.
They called on the official to stop spreading lies in the media and to respect the club's rules.
