A Siya source close to the player said Serero might not be short of suitors even if Al Jazira lets him go.

A source close to the 33-year-old Soweto-born said he believed there was interest from two local teams. The source further added that the stumbling block to such a transfer could be affordability.

Sources say the former Ajax star earns more than $25,000 a month in the UAE, a salary that South Africa’s DStv Premiership side will struggle to match in his view.

“There’s always been interest. The Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sunset have inquired about him before and even now and they know he’s going to be a free agent,” the Siya source said.

“But even if money isn’t an issue, I know he’s not ready to go home. He believes he can still play two or three seasons in Europe or Asia. So, it will take a lot of work to convince him to go home at this time, mainly in the upcoming season.

“But, that’s football, you never know what’s going to happen next. But, so far, if it’s going to happen, it’s going to be between the Chiefs and the Sunset.

“These teams have been following his progress and they’ve been very interested in his services. But you know, in football these days, it’s all about money. So if they make an offer that can be compared to a European or Asian offer Then maybe he can come to South Africa, but like now, he is thinking about staying abroad. But let’s wait and see what happens,” a source told the Siya crew.
