However, Durban club Royal's CEO, Sinky Mnisi, has denied knowledge of such a deal.
SowetanLIVE's sister publication TimesLIVE has been informed that Royal owner Shauwn Mkhize made a strong approach to buy Celtic from the Free State club’s owner, Max Tshabalala.
The source indicated that the deal could also involve former Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila FC owner Lawrence Mulaudzi buying Royal’s GladAfrica Championship status. This follows an arbitration award of three points to then-second-placed NFD team Sekhukhune United, for a match in February involving Polokwane City. This led to Limpopo team Sekhukhune being promoted to the Premiership as NFD champions, and Royal were bumped down to the promotion-relegation playoffs.
They suffered another setback in that battle when they were found guilty on all charges on Wednesday night in their disciplinary committee hearing for failing to honour their four playoff fixtures. Sentencing is expected on August 31.
