PSL RUMOUR MILL: Bucs complete another signing, Sekukhune want Lesiba Nku, Motupa follows Jali to Downs’ exit door and more

Ranga Chivaviro won’t settle for less than a CAF team, says agent

The 30-year-old Marumo Gallants striker attracted a lot of attention for his performances for the relegated DStv Premiership team. He netted 17 goals in 30 games in all competitions for his club this past season including seven in 10 CAF Confederation Cup matches as Gallants made it to the semi-finals.

Richards Bay are a reported destination for the in-form attacker with rumours circulating that the player has already signed a pre-contract, but his agent Trabi Harve expects his client to make a ‘bigger’ move.

Harve told the Sowetan: “Honestly, I don’t want to comment about that [whether Chivaviro signed a pre-contract with Bay] because I am reading a lot of things in the media. Our focus is on how the boy will get a new team for next season.

“Ranga has a CAF pedigree now, so the next level should be to play at that same level…[we aim] to look for a club who are in a CAF competition or else [he must] go to places like Saudi Arabia or Qatar. I’ve received a call from South Korea, waiting for an offer, so we’ll see what will happen. We must also look at Ranga’s age to see how things should be salary wise.”

Chivaviro has also been linked to Kaizer Chiefs, Young Africans of Tanzania and Libyan side Al Akhdar. Harve added: “It’s any player’s dream to play for Kaizer Chiefs in SA and outside SA. I won’t say anything more than that.”
