The midfielder, who is in the last months of his contract with the club, has expressed his desire to relocate back to Europe.
The Bafana Bafana star joined SuperSport from Doncaster Rovers back in 2015.
“When I first wanted Dean Furman to come (to) South Africa, he refused but we never gave up. Eventually he agreed when I engaged him for the second time. His wife was still his girlfriend at that time. When he signed with us we agreed that we will respect him when he decides to start a family. And they want to start a family and we respect that,” Matthews was quoted by IOL.
“No one can convince him. But the door will always be open for him at SuperSport.
“SuperSport is his home. He will never play for any club (in South Africa) except us,” Matthews said.
