Ahead of their 1-0 victory over The Bees on Sunday, 26 January 2025, Appollis was pulled from the matchday squad while Pirates reportedly held talks with the 23-year-old.
This season, Appollis scored two goals in 13 appearances for the side currently third on the PSL log, two points behind second-placed Pirates.
Appollis also played a starring role for Bafana Bafana, providing several assists and scoring twice during their successful Afcon 2025 qualification.
Polokwane confirmed their Nedbank Cup victory in the tweet below:
Appollis is a target for many clubs
Polokwane coach Phuti Mohafe recently stated the player would only be sold to overseas clubs, yet the decision to avoid him from being cup-tied has linked the player with PSL rivals.
With one day left in the January transfer window, Appollis might end up staying at Polokwane as they push for a high finish in the PSL and qualify for CAF competitions next season.
Appollis has been priced at over R25 million and a deadline-day move would headline the local transfer window which has seen several clubs add new faces to their squads.
