According to FARPost, Mosimane said Sundowns should end their insistence on keeping Mokoena.

Mosimane said:

"Well, I think Teboho has done it all locally. I think it is high time for him to move and go face new challenges somewhere else. For me, whilst he is still at his peak, he should be allowed to go."

Local football fans took to social media to disagree with Mosimane, stating that they believe Mokoena is too important for Sundowns.

"So he should just pack his bags and leave for Europe without an offer?"
