Lebo Mothiba has options
Mothiba could find a new club soon, according to the tweet below:
According to a Soccer Laduma source, Mothiba has offers from German side Karlsruher and French club Clermont, while PSL champions Mamelodi Sundowns also showed interest.
The source said:
“Mothiba is no stranger to France, having played most of his football in the country for teams such as Lille, Strasbourg, Valenciennes and Troyes. A large part of Mothiba’s decision could be that his family is based in France, which could sway matters in favour of Clermont.”
