Mamelodi Sundowns have seen a record bid rejected for Slovakia international striker Pavol Šafranko from Romanian Liga 1 side Sepsi OSK.
Sundowns bolstered their attacking options with the signings of Kermit Erasmus and Peter Shaluile in the off-season but the continued absence of Mauricio Affonso through injury has now seen them venture abroad for reinforcements.
The 2019/20 treble-winners are said to have launched a €700 000 (R12.4m) bid for the services of the 26-year-old striker who s netted six goals and registered three assists in 15 league games this season.
And despite the offer activating his release clause, the club has convinced him to reject the lure of Masandawana in order to help them fight for the Romanian top-flight title.
