Phiri, a 30-year-old central midfielder, has played in Europe since 2013. His locations included Denmark, Turkey and France.
The Johannesburg-born player’s contract with Ligue 2 side Guingamp ends on 30 June, and no renewal has been offered.

“He spent the past season in France with Guingamp. The 30-year-old, who came to the fore at Brondby, is believed to be considering his options, and while there are European opportunities for Phiri, a good offer from Naturena may be able to persuade him to return to Mzansi.
“In the 14 years Phiri has been abroad, he has played in Denmark, France and Turkey,” the report concluded.
