It has been revealed that South Africa’s highest paid soccer player, Kaizer Chiefs’ Khama Billiat is now one of Egypyt’s most wanted players with clubs willing to folk out millions for him.
With the player going into the final sex months of his contract with Kaizer Chiefs, a move to Egypt is now on the cards. Revelations show that Egypt based clubs, Pyramids and Al Ahly are willing to pay up to US$1.5-million (R22.37-million) for the Zimbabwean striker.
Egyptian club offer for Khama Billiat revealed
“Talks are already in progress for the next transfer window and the only clubs that can afford Billiat at the moment are Pyramids and Al Ahly. Pyramids can pay any transfer figure because they have the money and love spending. They can easily pay USD1.5-million and even USD2-million if they feel they really need the player. In this case Pyramids should be more interested because they don’t care about the age of players as well but just like big-profile players. Billiat can as well earn US$800 000 per annum here in Egypt as a big-profile player. With Zamalek, they are out of the picture for now because they have already signed players in that position and don’t have the budget for a big-money signing. With Al Ahly they will obviously be guided by Pitso Mosimane in how much they should spend to bring in Billiat. Mosimane has worked with the player before and so knows him very well and he has deep knowledge of the South African market in terms of what can be paid for players,” an agent revealed.
The 32 year old Khama Billiat has had a colourful sporting career in South Africa have begun his career with Ajax before moving to Mamelodi in Sundowns before finally settling at Kaizer Chiefs where he he has spent the last 3 years. The skipper made an estimated R833,333 per month at the Sowetan Club. A move to Egypt could mean an increase of R100,000 in his earnings and would be a viable financial offer for Kaizer Chiefs that they might just not be able to refuse. Kaizer Chiefs has previously been offered a lump some in 2019 by Egyptian club, Zamalek but they weren’t interested in party ways with Khama.
However, things may have changed now with the skipper dipping in form and growing older. The skipper has spent the last few weeks off the pitch with an injury. Kaizer Chiefs might just be interested in a conversation about Khama Billiat’s future.
