In strange twist of events, Mamelodi Sundowns have made an offer to Bidvest Wits for the services of want-away midfielder Sifiso Myeni.

“At Downs careers go down” – Myeni
Myeni has recently been reported to have attracted the interest of the so-called big teams, but Wits mentor Roger de Sa reveals big-spending Sundowns are the only club to have made an offer.
"Besides the Sundowns offer we have not received anything for the player," de Sa says, although he refuses to reveal the figures.
"He has been talking to them and it now depends on him whether he accepts the offer or not. We do not have a say on that one. However, he has been good and has been open with me regarding the discussions."
If it sails through, the move will be a surprise, considering Myeni's comments last year, when he told KickOff.com he was not contemplating a move to Downs:
"When you go to Sundowns your career goes down and I don't want to be one of the victims."
At the time, however, Sundowns were without a coach, and Myeni, perhaps wisely, also queried who was signing players at that stage: "For me it is better to go to a team where the coach wants you, not where team managers or bosses like you, because what will happen if the new coach comes and doesn’t like you?"
Myeni, who is returning to action after eight weeks of injury, and star left-back Patrick Phungwayo have been much speculated about during the January transfer window, but De Sa says they have not received an offer for the latter.
De Sa adds that other than Myeni and Phungwayo, Wits are not willing to sell any of their players. Kickoff
