Polokwane City, Paintsil locked in contract negotiations

PSL outfit Polokwane City and John Paintsil have failed to agree terms on a deal following two days of negotiations, but the Ghanaian international could still play for the Premiership rookies this season.

City spokesperson Patrick Baloyi explains: “We couldn’t come to an agreement, but the negotiations will continue today.”


Kickoff has been reliably informed that the 32-year-old defender was asking “for too much money”, believed to be a R400 000 ($40,000) signing-on-fee plus a substantial salary, though Baloyi refused to comment on the purported figures.

The two parties will be back on the negotiating table later on Wednesday.
