The Burkina Faso international has been a target for the Glamour Boys since his performance against Nasreddine Nabi's side at the beginning of the season in a friendly game.
South African publication, Kickoff claimed that the Sea Robbers have made a R11.2 million offer to the Tanzanian club for the player's signing.
Despite the mouthwatering offer from the Premier Soccer League giants, Young Africans are still maintaining their stance that the forward is not for sale.
"Report claims that Pirates have lodged a bid of $600,000 (R11.2 million) to Young Africans to sign their talisman," KickOff.com claims.
"It is also believed that Young Africans maintain their initial stance that they do not want to sell Aziz Ki in the near future, particularly during the current window, as he remains part of the club’s plans.”
One of the deciding factors convincing clubs like Orlando Pirates and Wydad Athletic Club to make a move for Aziz Ki is Yanga SC's recent poor performance both in the Tanzanian league and the CAF Champions League.
They appointed former TS Galaxy Sead Ramovic as their new boss late last year, but it could not save them from being knocked out of the Champions League after failing to get a home win over MC Alger in their final game in the group phase.
Kaizer Chiefs might have a chance to still sign the Burkina Faso international in the summer if they qualify for continental competition and also beat other competitors on the negotiation table, as Yanga SC are only interested in parting away with the forward for the right price.
