Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are also believed to be interested in the 27-year-old midfielder, however, Billiat is said to prefer an overseas move.
There were reports that he had signed a contract with one of the Soweto giants, but the source disputes this.
“No, no, he hasn’t signed a precontract with anyone, and he is definitely not joining a local team. He doesn’t want to play locally. He wants to move abroad; whether in Europe or Asia. So, it is not true that he has signed a precontract locally,” explained the source.
Billiat has featured nine times for Sundowns so far this season, with three goals and four assists to his name.
