Mamelodi Sundowns say that the hold-up in Siyanda Xulu's transfer to FC Rostov is down solely to the Russian club.

KickOff.com revealed on Friday that the 20-year-old defender was on his way to Europe, but now The Brazilians have revealed that the player has still not left Chloorkop – with the Russians seemingly in the wrong.

"Sundowns said that on Thursday night negotiations were finalised and a contract containing details of the deal was sent to Rostov," a statement read on Sundowns' website.

"Xulu, in the meantime, had been advised of developments and set about getting his travel papers ready on Friday. However, late Friday, the Russians sent back a contract containing new clauses which were not part of the agreement.

"Sundowns then advised them that the only valid agreement was the one containing details agreed upon on Thursday night. On Saturday, further discussions were held, and the deal was agreed upon once more. But again, they sent through a changed agreement. Sundowns advised them that until they sign the agreement discussed, there would be no deal."

So some puppet from mayfair and Nappyrena wil be blaming us for this???
We dont sell players for the sake of selling, we only allow players to go when the right offer is recieved....

Im also feeling Xulu should go play abroad, but when things started to be like this,,I can only blame other teams for Allow this Russians for taking South africa teams for granted..Teams like APES FC who are always desperate for Money.......


Yello Man till someone admit that he had the hand in killing Mohlala....till someone officially became the member in Inkandla
