According to a Soccer Laduma source, Polokwane could be tempted by Pirates' offer, but the club confirmed no official bid from Chiefs.

"Polokwane City are interested in Lesedi Kapinga, and if this works for them, they will go for Pirates, but if they are just looking at the R10 million, they will go for Chiefs.
