Their boss Ernst Middendorp would have been no exception to bolster his squad for Chiefs’ next African journey. However, they are prevented from signing new players after been hit with two window transfer ban from FIFA over the signing of Madagascan midfielder ‘Dax’ Andrianarimanana in July 2018.
And to go by this means the Glamour Boys would miss out on the opportunity to land Muntari this summer.
Meanwhile, Pitso Mosimane has already begun his summer transfer activities and appears the favorite to lure the 35-year old Ghana International to the PSL.
The Brazilians’ chance could further be enhanced by Mosimane’s desire to lift the CAF Champions League title next season where the boss could force Muntari’s transfer.
Orlando Pirates is another PSL side that could offer Muntari a life in the PSL but the direction of the club has been distorted at the go which makes the Bucs a little bit disorganized to bring in big players including Munatri.
Third placed SuperSport United and Maritzburg Unite- who still have to chance to secure CAF Inter Club football next season are among PSL sides also linked with Muntari but of all those clubs Mamelodi Sundowns look favorites to secure the signature of the former Black Stars midfielder.
