Despite rumours that Kaizer Chiefs were interested in signing Belgian forward Dzenan Zajmovic, the player himself has refuted these claims.
The 30-year-old, who joined TS Galaxy at the beginning of 2024, said he had not been in contact with any of the ‘big-three’ clubs in South Africa.
Presumably, Zajmovic was referring to Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns.
Speaking to KickOff.com, Zajmovic said: "Two clubs made contact, but I was not happy with the proposals about a month ago.
Clarifying Rumours: No Contact from Kaizer Chiefs
“It was not even one of the big three clubs in South Africa. Okay, with regards to Kaizer Chiefs, they never contacted me. I have seen people writing a lot of nonsense that I’m negotiating with them, but nothing like that has happened.
“All the things on the internet about me and Chiefs are not true because they have never contacted me. What I know is that I have shown myself in a good way, but maybe it is not good enough for some clubs.”
Exploring Future Opportunities: Respect, Value, and Potential Moves to Asia or South Africa
As a free agent, the hunt for a new club will continue for Zajmovic.
"You never know who decides in the clubs, and they go for what they like. With regards to where I would go next, I prefer respect and being valued. Maybe I will go to Asia. I’m fit.
"In South Africa, I would have liked to go to one of the big three because I have already adapted. If it is another club outside the big three and they show that they really want and value me, then I will take that offer.
"It is strange that the top three clubs didn’t contact me despite the numbers that I had in South Africa because I feel I did well."
