Orlando Pirates are all-systems go ahead of the upcoming offseason window.

It was a disastrous summer transfer period for the Buccaneers, who failed to land any talent albeit in talks with several stars, including Oswin Appollis and Fawaaz Basadien – it appears they do not want a repeat, having reportedly already signed five players, including Sihle Nduli and Sinoxolo Kwayiba.

Rumours from Mayfair

Orlando Pirates are said to miss out on target Aziz Ki. The Young Africans forward is reportedly days away from signing with Wydad Athletic.
Pyramids FC has reportedly offered a two-year extension in a bid to keep Fiston Mayele. The 30-year-old striker isn’t open to an Orlando Pirates move, but only time will tell.
According to reports, Pirates have signed Marumo Gallants star Masindi Nemtajela.
Priority target Vuyo Letlapa has attracted an R20 million bid from the French side of OGC Nice. It remains unclear whether the Sea Robbers will match it.

Letlapa news confirmed

“There are local teams which have shown interest and Pirates were believed to be in the forefront to sign him but apparently the French Ligue 1 side OGC Nice is the one leading now,” Soccer Laduma noted.

“They are very close to closing the deal. Remember, we spoke about European interest before. And just like they did with Elias Mokwana to Esperance de Tunis, they are including a 30% sell on clause to the next club agreement on the deal.”

“So, if Nice sells Vuyo then Sekhukhune United will get 30% from that deal. That’s why they are looking at R20m for now.”
