Orlando Pirates fans are bracing for a possible goodbye to one of their most exciting attacking young talents in decades..
Word from Mayfair is that Relebohile Mofokeng could be on his way out, after MLS side Minnesota United tabled a R35 million bid on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old was in action against Stellenbosch FC on Wednesday, and there’s growing talk that it might have been his last run-out in front of the Buccaneers faithful. If the deal isn’t wrapped up before the weekend, then Saturday’s MTN8 clash against Mamelodi Sundowns could be the teenager’s final farewell.
