Royal AM have denied reports that they priced Victor Letsoalo out of a move to Kaizer Chiefs.
Amakhosi were reportedly keen on the former Baroka goalscorer but a deal failed to materialise and he ended up at Sekhukhune United along with a raft of new signings for the DStv Premiership side.
Letsoalo is said to have handed in a transfer request in order to find a team closer to his family home.
And in a written statement, Royal AM have explained how their top scorer made the move.
“The rumours that Kaizer Chiefs or any other team in the Premiership was pursuing the Bafana Bafana striker with a price tag of R20 MILLION are far from the truth,” the club explained.
“We have a good working relationship with Kaizer Chiefs and all other clubs in the Premier Soccer League. Had we received any written offer(s) from any club we would have entertained it.
“As a club, we are not going to stand, deny or stop any player that is requesting a move to another club that has submitted a written offer.
“His exceptional performance attracted lots of “fictitious” offers. We have always been open to any written offers for this great athlete.
“Last week the player approached management requesting to play for a team closer to his home (Limpopo Province). The president and the chairman together with the board members of Royal AM agreed to his request.
“Subsequent to this discussion, Sekhukhune United F.C. wrote us a letter enquiring about the services of Letsoalo, and later submitted a written offer which the club accepted.”
