Why it's difficult for Dolly to find a new club in PSL

In an interview with the SoccerBeatZA podcast, as per GOAL, Masilela claimed players who previously represented one of the top sides in the Betway Premiership (Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns, and Orlando Pirates) will always find it difficult to join another club in the league due to their earnings.

The former Bafana Bafana star believes Dolly's earnings during his time with Kaizer Chiefs could be one reason he's still unattached.

"I think when you are coming from a team like Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns, and Orlando Pirates, the first thing that comes to their (teams) minds is that this player was earning a lot of money," he said.
"Before they even approached you, they had already deduced that this player would need a lot of money only because you were playing for Amakhosi. It happened to me after leaving the Soweto-based side; I had to stay for a couple of months.
