Mkhize can’t share the name of the clubs that wants to sign Ekstein but says there are offers on the table from local teams and one international club so far.
Ekstein has been linked with a move to Orlando Pirates after his contract was terminated by Chiefs a month before it was set to expire.
“There are clubs that we’ve engaged but we are waiting for them to get back to us. I can’t mention the clubs that want to sign the player. At the moment there’s nothing concrete,” Mkhize was quoted by IOL.
“As soon as we’ve started negotiating the money and stuff with the package, then we can disclose the name of the clubs. There’s two clubs that I’ve spoken to. One is local and one is not local,” Mkhize explained.
“There’s also interest in Azerbaijan but obviously we want to see if the boy can get the deal locally before we can talk about offers outside the country. He has family and his child is still very young.
“Preferably, he will love to stay here. If maybe then we can’t get anything we will entertain the outside (deal). But it will depend on what he gets. If he gets a good deal then he will stay.”
