Kaizer chiefs withdraw from race to sign europe based star midfielder

I'm not aware of any information about Kaizer Chiefs withdrawing from the race to sign a European-based star midfielder. Kaizer Chiefs is a South African professional soccer club that plays in the Premier Soccer League, and while they may have been linked to various players over the years, I don't have any specific information about them withdrawing from a race to sign a particular player.

Could you please provide more context or clarify which player you are referring to? I'd be happy to try and help you find the information you're looking for.
