Veteran midfielder Andile Jali has reportedly turned down a blockbuster transfer offer by African giants Wydad Casablanca in favour of remaining in the DStv Premiership next season.
Jali is the subject of intense transfer speculation regarding his playing future after departing Mamelodi Sundowns after a decorated five-year spell.

The 33-year-old lifted the league title in each season during his spell at Sundowns to become one of the most decorated players in South African football.
KickOff previously reported that a number of local sides are jockeying for the midfielder's services, with Cape Town City and Kaizer Chiefs linked.
A surprise contender is now emerging with former side Orlando Pirates now believed to be showing interest and may be ready to hijack any deal.
"It was not only Wydad [showing interest], but also a team in Turkey," a source close to the player's camp tells KickOff.
