Celtic have been told to forget about hijacking Hoffenheim's move for Kaizer Chiefs striker Knowledge Musona.
Kaizer Chiefs will "act ethically" in agreement with Hoffenheim
Celtic have been told to forget about hijacking Hoffenheim's move for Kaizer Chiefs striker Knowledge Musona.
The Bhoys have expressed an interest in the 21-year-old Zimbabwean but he is due to travel to Germany for a trial after he receives a visa on Monday.
And his club manager, Bobby Motaung, insists the forward will not be derailed from his German trip even if Celtic step up their interest.
Motaung told
kickoff.com: "We know there is Celtic's deal coming into play, but firstly Musona is not on auction. Secondly, we are not going to play a pick and choose game or money game.
Act ethically
"There has been an invitation for the player from Hoffenheim and we are going to follow through that process and we will exhaust that process before we consider any other offer.
"For now we will park the proposal that has come through. It is only fair for us to act ethically.
"We will respond accordingly to Celtic and acknowledge their interest, but Musona is not on auction."
Meanwhile, Celtic have distanced themselves from a bid for Maccabi Petah Tikvah forward Omer Damari, with the Israeli club demanding a 30 per cent of any sell on fee.
