Hotto’s representative Machini Motloung confirmed to the newspaper that they have received offers from both Pirates and Sundowns.
“He has been approached by both Pirates and Sundowns,” Motloung said.
“Remember he is still with Bidvest Wits and we need to respect that. The league is not done yet. I don’t think it would be professional for him to choose preference when the league is still running.
“As it is now, nothing has been finalised; we are still in negotiation with both Pirates and Sundowns.”
Pirates administrator Floyd Mbele could not be reached for comment.
