Pitso Mosimane has been heavily linked to Orlando Pirates since Jose Riveiro’s decision to leave was made public.

However, the former Bafana boss has dismissed the Buccaneers keenness, saying, “I’ve seen it [links to Pirates], but nobody has spoken to me. We will see.

“And would he consider a return to the Premier Soccer League? “Why not?”, he answered. “It must be for the right project. It must be at the right time.”

Orlando Pirates have reportedly shortlisted former Mamelodi Sundowns managers Mosimane and Rulani Mokwena. The latter has agreed to part ways with Morroco’s Wydad Athletic at the end of the season, opening the door for a shock PSL return.

Nemtajela inbound?

According to reports, the Soweto giants have tabled a three-year offer for Gallants midfielder Masindi Nemtajela.

“It’s believed that now the club has offered him a three-year deal,” SoccerLaduma confirmed.

“They are looking at improving the squad mainly in the midfield because they will be apparently looking at releasing some of the current midfielders so Masindi is one of those players hence the three-year contract they have offered him.”

Another source confirmed the news, saying, “As the club is looking at releasing other players, these players are apparently part of the potential deal between Pirates and Gallants.

“At the moment I can’t say which of those players are, but discussions are ongoing and things could be finalised at the end of the season.”
