Stellenbosch FC's Ashley Du Preez return has raised questions about whether the door has now opened for a multimillion-rand transfer involving Devin Titus, who is at the center of a major transfer agreement with Moroccan Botola Pro champions Maghreb de Fès. League standing: 14th in Premier Soccer League, 0 pts, 0W-0D-1L from 1 games, recent form DL. The return of Du Preez has provided Stellenbosch with the attacking depth needed to sanction Titus's departure.
What happened?
Titus has scored 34 goals in all official competitions for Stellenbosch FC and is currently being pursued by the Moroccan champions. While Titus signed a new long-term contract extension with Stellenbosch in January 2026, Maghreb de Fès has reportedly triggered his buyout clause to initiate an immediate transfer.
Why it matters for Stellenbosch FC
Du Preez's return to the club from Kaizer Chiefs could provide Stellenbosch with the attacking depth needed to sanction Titus's departure. If Maghreb Fez succeeds in signing Titus, he will be the second South African to join the Yellows after his compatriot Tshegofatso Mabasa.
What comes next?
The club was crowned champions of Morocco last season, ahead of RS Berkane, Raja Casablanca and FAR, making them an attractive destination for the prolific Stellenbosch striker. With Du Preez back in the fold, Stellenbosch may now have the luxury of cashing in on their prized asset. Goals this season: 0 scored, 1 conceded (-1 goal difference). Title race: 3 points behind leaders Kaizer Chiefs. Moroccan football club MAS Fes, according to the report, plans to recruit players who can make a difference in preparation for a good showing in the African Champions League, which it will begin on September 5 with a match against Burkina Faso's Rahimo at the honorary stadium in Meknes.
