The chase of Cape Town Spurs FC starlet Asanele Velebayi by Kaizer Chiefs takes another twist ahead of the start of the 2024-2025 season for both clubs.

Asanele Velebayi battles Ramahlwe Mphahlele during a 2023-2024 Dstv Premiership match between Cape Town Spurs FC and AmaZulu FC at Athlone Stadium.

Yesterday, Spurs rejected Amakhosi’s offer for Velebayi, which left the 21-year-old attacker and his family frustrated and demanding a way out of the club.

Amid the controversy, Spurs CEO Alexi Esfatathiou provided the reason why the Motsepe Foundation Championship club decided to turn down the offer from Chiefs and also accused the club of using underhanded tactics in an exclusive interview with KickOff.

“Yes, an offer was indeed made, and it was turned down; these tactics and tricks clubs and agents use don’t work with Cape Town Spurs. They are the oldest strategy in the book,” he told Kickoff.

“If you want to keep by the rules, you don’t contact players directly. That is the first thing. A club like Chiefs should not be contacting any players directly. The club’s got a contract with the player. He has still got three more years.

“It has always been like that. Maybe now the rules have changed. We do have a good relationship with Chiefs; I am not fighting with Chiefs.”

Efstathiou insisted that Spurs would not block Velebayi’s move to Chiefs but added that Amakhosi would have to meet their evaluation in order for the deal to go through.

“He is a versatile player, so must we sell him for whatever just because the player and his mommy decide he wants to move? Is this a joke?

“The bottom line is, we will not stand in the player’s way. It is not the club. It is the offer that is standing in Velebayi’s way,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, Velebayi is set to follow the footsteps of Rushwin Dortley and involve his parents in forcing a move away from Spurs.

Dortley also found himself in the same situation as Velebayi and forced a move away from the Cape Town-based club to Chiefs.
