According to reports, Orlando Pirates will find it hard to keep several stars during the offseason.
Patrick Maswanganyi and Monnapule Saleng, who are both said to be keen on a move to Europe, have serious interest abroad – the same applies to Bafana youngster Relehobile Mofokeng.
Maswanganyi latest
Portuguese side UD Oliveirense are in negotiations with Maswanagnyi:
“It’s no longer just about an inquiry, it’s about negotiations now,” a Siya source confirmed.
“They really want him back in Portugal. They are looking at the progress he has made, and they are happy to bring him back to Portugal. It will all depend on what Pirates are looking at or if UD Oliveirense can afford what Pirates will be asking for Maswanganyi.
“The only issue that is there now is the R40 million that the club has put on Maswanganyi’s head. You know he is one of the best players now in the country and if the club wants that amount then UD Oliveirense should meet or make it even better than that. But since they are believed to have opened up negotiations then it will all depend on their offer that they table to Pirates.”
Mofokeng latest
“There have been enquiries from Barcelona on Relebohile Mofokeng,” another Siya source confirmed.
“The boy has been monitored by the coaches of the Barcelona B team with interest. They have been following him and made approaches with some of their contacts in the PSL, including certain coaches they know closely, asking about the player,” they added.
“He is a player with potential to play in some of the top leagues in Europe and the feedback has been positive on the enquires made.”
