It looks like Kaizer Chiefs were all set to bring in Oswin Appollis, but the transfer saga has taken an unexpected turn.
Initially, it seemed like Appollis was on his way to MC Alger, but now it appears that the move might not go through after all.
Appollis’ Transfer to Algeria in Doubt
SABC Sport’s Mazola Molefe reports that negotiations between Appollis’ current team, Polokwane City, and the Algerian side have hit a major roadblock.
Despite initial agreements, the deal hasn’t been finalized, and the Algerian transfer window is about to close at midnight.
The report highlights that the highly anticipated transfer of the 22-year-old winger to MC Alger is hanging by a thread.
Although Polokwane City and MC Alger had initially agreed on the transfer before the start of the Betway Premiership, the paperwork still isn’t completed.
Now, with the transfer window closing soon, time is running out for MC Alger to finalize the deal, and there are concerns about whether Appollis could even complete a medical in time.
If the deal collapses, it might be good news for local teams like Kaizer Chiefs, who have been eyeing Appollis as a potential signing.
