South African football champions Mamelodi Sundowns have reportedly tabled a R15 million (US$1m) bid to re-land the services of Kaizer Chiefs’ Zimbabwean forward Khama Billiat.

But Kaizer Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung has cast doubt about reports linking Billiat with a R15 million return to Mamelodi Sundowns.

Billiat has been linked with a move back to Sundowns after just one season with the Glamour Boys.

In a report on Tuesday, the Brazilians acting general manager Yogesh Singh revealed that talks were advancing with regard the 28-year-old making his return to Chloorkop.

Nonetheless, Motaung, affectionately nicknamed “Bobsteak” for his love of food and for the fact he controls Chiefs’ purse strings in the transfer market, indicated that Singh’s statement was misleading.

He told Goal: “I’m not going to say anything about those things. As Chiefs, we haven’t said anything.

“There is nothing I am going to say about Khama Billiat. I don’t know what those guys (Sundowns) are talking about. Thank you.”

The Zimbabwe ace scored 14 goals in all competitions in 2018/19 but it was not enough to earn Amakhosi any silverware.

On Tuesday Sundowns’ acting general manager Singh is said to have confirmed that talks between the two clubs were ongoing and negotiations were advancing.

As such, was revealed that the Brazilians have made an offer of R15 million for the forward to make a possible return to Chloorkop.

The 28-year-old spent five seasons of success with Downs before making a big money switch to the Glamour Boys at the start of 2018/19.

However, it seems the player is not content with life at Chiefs and reports suggest he is a major instigator behind wanting a return to his former club.
