Former Inter and AC Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari is open to the idea of plying his trade in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) to play for Kaizer Chiefs.

The 35-year-old has been without a club since parting ways with Segunda Division side Albacete at the end of last season.

Earlier reports have suggested that Muntari was on the verge of completing a move to Hearts of Oak, but the deal with the Accra giant fell through after South African clubs started showing interest in the experienced midfielder.

Muntari has been linked with Absa Premiership giants Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United, who are leading the race for his signature, but Muntari revealed the only club in the PSL he’ll play for is Chiefs.

‘I spoke to an agent. He gave me a call. I have forgotten his name. Sipho…I don’t know how to pronounce his name,’ Muntari told Marawa Sports Worldwide on Metro FM.

‘I would love to come and play in South Africa because they have great teams that I like. For instance, Sundowns are there, Pirates are there but my favourite one are Chiefs.

‘I don’t know why but I have been following Chiefs for a moment now, I love the way they are and everything.

‘So I said if I am going to South Africa, there is the only team I want to play for, that is Chiefs.

‘And with all due respect to Pirates and Sundowns and the other teams that are in the South African league, of course, this is what I prefer, so that’s the only plan, that’s what I spoke [about] with the agent.

‘That’s it and I haven’t said anything more. But why not? It’s home, Ghana is home, South Africa can be home, any part in Africa can be home. It would be good to come [to South Africa] but I haven’t made my mind as yet.

‘I don’t know [how much time I have to make the decision]. I also need to discuss it with my family because now I have two little kids so for me being around them is important to see them growing up. I have one boy, he is five, he has to go to school and everything…,” continued Muntari.
