Teboho Mokoena wanted by French Ligue 1 side – report

Published on by

Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Teboho Mokoena has once again become a subject of interest from European clubs, with a team from France's Ligue 1 reportedly making the latest approach. 

The 28-year-old's impressive performances for Masandawana and consistently strong displays for Bafana Bafana, including a key role in their AFCON bronze medal win last year, have kept him in demand in both North Africa and Europe. 

Despite this renewed attention from abroad, Mokoena recently committed his future to Sundowns by signing a five-year contract extension with an option for a further year.

“It will be hard to keep Tebza for a long time. There is interest in him almost every week or month and it's becoming overwhelming for the club now. The latest is from France,” the source told Soccer Laduma.

“I can't say exactly which club it is at the moment but the enquiry has been there, from France.

“At the moment we can say he is not for sale unless the money is good. In August last year he signed a new five-year contract with a one-year option which means they value him so much and they would want to keep him longer. 

“If they are to sell him it won't be cheap but because the interest is from Europe, and France in particular, it could then happen as long as the money is good.”
