Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane says he might need to look elsewhere or just leave things as they are after Mamelodi Sundowns closed negotiations with the Cairo giants on the possible transfer of winger Gaston Sirino.
Talks collapsed after Sundowns could not climb down from the €5 million (R89 million) price they insisted for Sirino’s departure while Al Ahly are not prepared to meet that figure.
Discussions between the two sides have reportedly been dragging on for the past two seasons since Mosimane was still at Downs.
