Muntari turn down Maritzburg in favour of Chiefs - reports
Former Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari has reportedly turned down the chance to join Maritzburg United in favour of a possible move to join Kaizer Chiefs, according to reports.
The 35-year-old previously expressed his interest in playing in South African during an interview with journalist Robert Marawa a few months ago.
The former AC Milan and Inter Milan midfielder indicated that he would prefer to giant Chiefs if he decides to ply his trade in South Africa.
It has now been established that the Team of Choice have made an offer for the services of Muntari, according to reports.
'Maritzburg United have engaged the player's representatives to discuss the potential of the player moving to KwaZulu-Natal this coming season,' a source told KickOff.com.
'But the player has made up his mind and only wants to play for Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa.'
Muntari is currently a free agent after his short-term contract with Spanish outfit Albacete Balompé expired in July 2019.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
