Lebo Mothiba said he has not spoken to Mamelodi Sundowns after leaving French club RC Strasbourg.
The PSL champions want the Bafana striker to bolster an attacking line-up which includes Namibian forward Peter Shalulile.
Lebo Mothiba is focused on his recovery
Mothiba speaks about his future in the tweet below:
According to The Citizen, Mothiba said his agent will handle his future while he confirmed he has yet to meet with Sundowns.
Mothiba said:
"For now, everything is still between me and my agent. I haven't spoken to any team here in South Africa. I don't know what is happening, but my main focus is healing my knee, coming back and continuing to play in Europe."
Fans are divided over Mothiba
While Sundowns could lose defender Khuliso Mudua to Europe, they are divided about Mothiba switching France to Mzansi due to his injury issues.
Thando Makaula is against the move:
"No, we don't want him at Sundowns. We rather look elsewhere for a target man, not this guy. We saw how bad he is at Bafana Bafana. Plus, he is struggling with injuries."
Sphamandla Mncube said Mothiba belongs at Downs:
"Sundowns is his home. He played for them as a kid."
Mokoka Jnr says there is a place for Mothiba:
"He is a Sundowns supporter. He loves the team. He can be our new no 9 in terms of plan B when Peter Shalulile struggles."
Sibongiseni Mbongi Mvumvu says it will be a good move:
"He will play two games and get back to his injury."
Siyakha Mabeezy supports the move:
"Sundowns need a striker like him."
