Mokoena draws interest from France
According to a report by Soccer Laduma, Mokoena is the latest player being linked with a move away from Sundowns. The South African international is one of the regular players in the Brazilians' line-up and also in the national team.
Sources claimed that a club in French Ligue 1 has made an enquiry about the former SuperSport United midfielder, and the Pretoria giants are struggling to fend off the interest.
"Keeping Tebza long-term is becoming a real challenge. There’s interest in him almost every week or month, and it's starting to overwhelm the club. Most recently, there’s been an enquiry from France—though I can’t reveal which club just yet," the source told the South African publication.
The Bafana Bafana star is reportedly valued at close to R50 million, and any club interested in him would have to cough up that money for Sundowns to be able to let him go.
Reports have it that the French side is willing to meet the R50 million valuation for the South African midfielder, and it’s possible the deal could take place in the summer.
Mokoena has spent three years with Sundowns, having joined them from city rivals SuperSport United in 2022. He signed a new long-term contract with the Brazilians last year July.
