Sundowns’ Two Late Offers for Bafana Bafana Star Rejected by PSL Rivals

• Mamelodi Sundowns have had their two late bids for a South African international rejected by their Premier Soccer League rivals
• The Brazilians have been showing interests in signing the Bafana Bafana midfielder since the end of last season even before Rulani Mokwena's exit
• Netizens have commented on Stellies' decision to turn down two late offers from Masandawana for their star player

Mamelodi Sundowns have suffered a massive blow after their two late offers for Bafana Bafana star Jayden Adams were rejected by Premier Soccer League rivals Stellenbosch FC.

The South African international has been on the Brazilians' radar since his stellar performance for the Stellies last season.

The Bafana Bafana midfielder was also a target for Soweto giants Orlando Pirates, but the Brazilians showed greater interest in signing him this summer.

Sundowns offers for Adams rejected

According to a report by iDiskiTimes, Sundowns might not be able to sign Adams this summer as Stellenbosch turned down their two bids.

The PSL defending champions were said to have submitted an offer to Stellies at the beginning of this week, but the Maroons rejected it.

The Masandawana returned with an improved offer for the South African midfielder, but the Cape Winelands side turned it down again as they aren't willing to lose the player to a rival late in the transfer widow.

Stellenbosch's loss of Adams on transfer deadline day means they won't be getting a replacement for him, a move that could jeopardise their season.

The Bafana Bafana star is part of the players Steve Barker named in his travelling squad for their CAF Confederation Cup second leg preliminary round against Democratic Republic of Congo side AS Vita this weekend.
