SuperSport United CEO Stan Matthews has commented on the possible departure of captain Ronwen Williams to Mamelodi Sundowns.
Williams is believed to be edging closer to a move to Sundowns, who are prepared to let Ricardo Goss go the other way. Goss has previously worked with new SuperSport coach Gavin Hunt at Bidvest Wits.
According to Matthews, the Williams deal is not yet over the line, but the door is open for him to make a move to Chloorkop.
"It's never just a straight forward situation because there's negotiations and discussions. There's nothing that's been advanced to any level that I can contretize right now, but once I've sat down with Gavin over the weekend and look at different permutations on how we can freshen up the team and what kind of replacements we can (get), then I will have a clearer picture in my own mind how viable the sale of Ronwen will be," Matthews told media after a press conference where they unveiled Hunt as coach on Thursday.
"It's likely that he will leave, but as I say, it's something that I've got to sit down and discuss with Gavin. If we can't get the right replacement... Gavin is very strong on the spine of the team and that starts with the keeper. Ronwen is the national team goalkeeper and he is our most capped player. He is our captain and our poster child. He is our longest serving player, so it's not a normal trading of a player."
