Orlando Pirates are set to lose Relebohile Mofokeng to Major Soccer League (MSL) outfit Minnesota United for around R35 million.
The tricky winger has been one of the best PSL players in recent years and was always poised for a move overseas. In preparation for his move, the club signed former Polokwane City winger Oswin Appollis in his place.
So far, Mofokeng has played all four matches for the Sea Robbers but has yet to find a goal this season. The Bafana Bafana has been linked to a number of teams in Europe and the Middle East in the past few months.
Will Mofokeng leave Orlando Pirates this season?
“Minnesota United submit bid north of $2m for South Africa int’l winger Relebohile Mofokeng to Orlando Pirates. Talks ongoing. Mofokeng, 20, big talent breaking through for club and country. Would be U-22 initiative. MNUFC long-time admirers of Mofokeng,” said US reporter Tom Bogert.
While Mofokeng has struggled for form, the Buccaneers have found a new hero in Kamogelo Sebelebele. The former TS Galaxy star has scored two goals in two matches for the Sea Robbers.
Although Orlando Pirates have signed 12 players this season, they can still bring in one big signing. Khuliso Mudau has not featured for Mamelodi Sundowns this season and could be out of the club.
Should Pirates sign Mudau?
