Khama Billiat is one of the players currently out of contract at Kaizer Chiefs. Amakhosi and the Zimbabwean international are yet to agree on terms for a new contract.
Regarding the reports, Bobby Motaung told Sowetan that he was unaware of this.
“I don’t know that Billiat is refusing to accept a reduced package. Khama is negotiating a new contract with the club since his contract has expired. It’s not a salary cut that’s being negotiated. A salary cut happens when somebody is earning so much and the employer cuts his salary,” he told the publication.
“With Khama, there’s no salary cut because the negotiations are still about the new contract. How can you cut the salary of a person who doesn’t have a contract? The negotiations are ongoing, and we hope he stays, but we don’t know what will come out of the negotiations at the end of the day.”
Billiat joined Kaizer Chiefs in 2018 from Mamelodi Sundowns.
Amakhosi legend wants Billiat out of the club
Kaizer Chiefs legend and former striker Shane McGregor believes it’s time the Soweto outfit let go of Billiat. McGregor has lost faith in the 32-year-old who is at the tail end of his career.
“To be honest, what has Billiat done since he has been at Chiefs? Not much. For the goalkeeper, he can still mature with experience, you can still go for a few more years and also he can help other keepers, so that can be worth it keeping him.
“But for me personally, it is a waste of time keeping Billiat, but as I said, it is a difficult one to call because you don’t know who will come in and what will happen, whether the coach will want to use him”, McGregor said in part.
