Mothiba's move to Belgium faced a stumbling block, according to the tweet below:

According to Soccer Laduma, Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, who first reported about the move to Liège, said money proved to be a stumbling block in the negotiations.

Tavolieri said:

"Mothiba and Liège could not find common ground with regards to the player's package, which ultimately saw the deal come to an abrupt halt."

After leaving Mzansi in 2014, Mothiba has spent his senior career in France and is now a free agent after leaving Ligue 1 side RC Strasbourg.

Local football fans posted their predictions of Mothiba's future on social media, while Chiefs supporters said they do not want the striker at the club.
