Relebohile Mofokeng is once again attracting interest from abroad despite being deep in Orlando Pirates’ pre-season camp in Spain. The 19-year-old playmaker remains one of the most sought-after talents in South African football. Although Pirates have previously resisted selling him, a substantial offer from Europe may change that.
Meanwhile, forward Fiston Mayele could soon be heading out; and his likely destination isn’t Soweto. Saudi Arabian and Egyptian clubs are reportedly circling the striker.

To compensate for not signing Mayele, Orlando Pirates are intensifying talks with Etiosa Ighodaro. The Nigerian striker enjoyed a strong season at AmaZulu and is being seriously considered by Pirates’ technical team. Kaizer Chiefs are also interested, but Pirates appear to be in pole position.
The Buccaneers’ camp in Marbella has already been eventful, with key tactical sessions, transfer decisions, and the reshaping of the squad ahead of the new season. With Mofokeng, Mayele, and others being linked with moves, fans are eagerly watching what comes next.
