The Siya crew has been led to believe that Marumo Gallants boss Abram Sello has moved closer to acquiring the top flight status of DStv Premiership outfit Moroka Swallows.
Swallows chairman David Mogashoa is understood to be open to listening to offers for the club, with the Siya crew being informed that he is "tired" and looking to pass the club onto someone else who will be able to continue.

As things stand, the Swallows players are expected to return to start preparing for the new season on June 24 and they have not been informed as to whether the club is on sale or not. However, it's understood that a sale could be on and information will be given to players at the "right time", an insider confirmed to the Siya crew.
Gallants owner Sello is not new to buying a top flight club. A few seasons ago, he bought Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila and then named it Marumo Gallants. He is now determined to make his way back up to top flight football and the Siya crew understands that there could be a deal sooner rather than later.
Gallants finished 11th in the Motsepe Foundation Championship, on 36 points after 30 matches. They were relegated from the top flight at the end of last season.

"Marumo Gallants is coming back to the PSL (top flight). They are buying the status of Swallows," a source said to the Siya crew.
The Siya crew was unable to get a comment from both Mogashoa and Sello at the time of publishing.
