The agent of Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Reyaad Pieterse says his client is looking to leave Chloorkop in the search of game time and is not ruling out a return to former club Kaizer Chiefs.

The 28-year-old joined Sundowns from SuperSport United in 2018 but has struggled to force his way above Denis Onyango and Kennedy Mweene in the pecking order at the club.

With the Brazilians having signed Jody February from Ajax Cape Town and Ricardo Goss expected to make the move from faltering Bidvest Wits, competition is only getting tougher for the No 1 jersey and Pieterse’s agent, Gary Cassisa, has confirmed that his client will definitely leave Sundowns.

‘No, we are definitely going to move him, he’s either got to go on loan or we are going to get him a transfer,’ Cassisa told KickOff.com.

‘Well, it’s not just happiness. I mean, he enjoys himself at Sundowns, but the problem is he needs to get game time. Ja, so, it doesn’t come down to happiness, it comes down to his actual career, you know,’ he said when asked if the keeper was still happy at the club.

‘And if he wants to progress forward in his career he’s got to play. So we’ve either got to find him a loan, at a club where he is going to play and get game time, or he’s going to look for a transfer if a club is prepared to buy him out. He’s still got another season left.’

In 2016 Pieterse left Kaizer Chiefs for SuperSport United after failing to displace Itumeleng Khune. but Cassisa says he doesn’t regret that decision and could be open to rejoining the Soweto giants.

‘Look, I don’t think he has any regrets [leaving Chiefs]. I believe a player must always move to progress in his career.

‘That he left doesn’t mean he can’t go back to Kaizer Chiefs, you know. It’s just a matter of having to see if Kaizer Chiefs has a slot available for him. I don’t know, everything is a possibility, you know.

‘But there is no confirmation yet if he’s going there. Like I said to you, he will either go on loan to get game time or he’s going to go on a transfer. But he will go on loan or transfer next season.’

Any move to Chiefs would revolve around the club getting their transfer ban lifted, which at this stage is uncertain.
