Pretoria - Mamelodi Sundowns have a history of sticking jealously to their most prized players - and Khama Billiat's case is not isolated, however, the Pretoria outfit might not get a dime in an impending move to Europe, later this year.
Possible suitors have been waved off by the rich club with their outrageous demands, including links to Soweto rivals Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, as well as Azerbaijan champions Qarabag.Qarabag have been pursuing Billiat for a prolonged time but the club could not match the asking price of US$2,5 million demanded by the Patrice Motsepe-run club.
Pirates are reported to have offered to increase the player’s salary from R160 000 (US$13 232) a month to R200 000 (US$16 544).

| Free Agent: Khama Billiat |
Despite wanting away, Billiat seeks to stick to the professional script until his departure.
On Friday night Billiat — whose contract runs to the end of this South Africa Absa Premiership soccer season — volleyed home a stunning winner as his side beat fellow title contenders Cape Town City 1-0.
In his post-match interview, the midfielder appeared to rule out a continued stay at Sundowns. The former continental champions are desperate to have Billiat sign a new deal but their efforts have been drawing blanks.
“Right now I just want to honour my contract and be professional enough about it. Respect the players, coaches and everyone and do what I have to do, work hard whenever I get an opportunity,” the forward told SuperSport’s Robert Marawa after Friday’s game.
Marawa probed further, “Future not decided yet?”
“I don’t know anything yet,”Billiat chuckled back.
The 27-year-old is understood to be keen on a move to Europe and being a free agent will certainly make him more attractive to suitors who have hitherto failed to prise him away from Amasandawana. - Online Sources
