According to TSN Express, there has been extensive talks between Sundowns and Pirates over a possible move.
Mobara was due to join Wits at the end of the season in a swap deal that would have seen Ben Motshwari and another player move to Pirates.
But, the move has been cancelled after a dispute over Wits’ contract.
Wits were said to be offering the 24-year-old a contract of two years plus the option for another season, but the player’s agent is looking for a minimum four-year deal.
“Why would you offer a 24-year-old player such a short deal? He is still young and looking for security in the profession,” Mobara’s agent, Rob Moore, is quoted as saying by TSN Express.
