What are the chances of Fawaaz Basadien and Thabo Moloisane going to Kaizer Chiefs or Orlando Pirates? 'Management always give the option to the player'

Stellenbosch FC defenders Fawaaz Basadien and Thabo Moloisane have been linked with a move away from the Maroons after some impressive performances last season.

The Bafana Bafana duo has reportedly attracted the interest of Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.

The Cape Winelands goalkeeper, Lee Langeveldt, talks about the two players' chances of leaving Stellenbosch.

"I think they [management] always give the option to the player of course at the end of the day. I'm sure they would like to keep their best players but it's up to the player as well," Langeveldt told KickOff.

"It's not always just the management. It must come from them [players] as well. But I'm sure all of us want to stay. Whoever plays at Stellenbosch is important. It's never easy to lose players.  

"But we always have a plan, if we lose these quality players, we recruit well. I'm sure if we do lose [some players], there's always a good plan," added the veteran goalkeeper.

"For the past three, four seasons we've sold [players]. So I don't see the reason why, if we do lose players, we can't replace with similar quality."

Stellenbosch have been losing key players in recent seasons but they have managed to recover from that.

The absence of the likes of Ashley du Preez, Sibongiseni Mthethwa, Iqraam Rayners and Deano van Rooyen and Jayden Adams has not been felt after they moved to Chiefs, Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns.

Steve Barkers's side have still managed to compete for the Caf Confederation Cup spot even after losing such quality players.

Stellenbosch might be preparing to lose Basadien and Moloisane in the upcoming few weeks.

That would provide Barker with a task to look for apt replacements.
