Lebogang Phiri Opens Up About Rejecting ‘Excessive’ Kaizer Chiefs Offer While at Brondby
South Africa midfielder Lebogang Phiri has finally spoken out about his decision to reject a highly lucrative offer from Kaizer Chiefs during his time at Brondby IF.
The 30-year-old, who most recently played for French Ligue 2 side EA Guingamp, is currently a free agent after choosing not to renew his contract with the club.
“I was really hoping to join Kaizer Chiefs. Playing for Kaizer Chiefs was always my goal,” he told Andile Ncube on Sport Night Amplified.
“In 2017, during my final six months at Brøndby, Kaizer Chiefs showed serious interest. They presented a contract that was very attractive—especially for someone my age returning home. The financial terms were quite generous.
“However, I still had ambitions to play overseas, so I decided to turn down that offer and pursue my career in France instead.”
