Mofokeng could be next, but Pirates must sell at the right time
At 20 years old, Relebohile Mofokeng is the jewel in the Pirates’ crown. There’s talk that the Sea Robbers will listen to offers of R32 million for the winger. Make no mistake, Rele Mofokeng is a brilliant player, potentially the South African with the highest ceiling. What message does this send to European clubs wanting to smuggle South African talent if Mofokeng signs for a team in Spain, Italy, France or Germany and then gets sold for roughly five times that number? Is South Africa a sweatshop?
WOW: Nkota secures move to Saudi Arabia
Are Orlando Pirates doing good business so far in the winter window?
