Orlando Pirates are pressing ahead early with their squad rebuilding plans ahead of the next season, according to reports.
Pirates have reportedly already reached multiple transfer agreements with players set to beef up their 2025/26 season squad.
Big changes expected at Pirates
As it stands, at least six new players have been rumoured to be joining the Buccaneers. This as they prepare for the post-Jose Riveiro era. But it isn’t just the incoming that have been the focus. Pirates are also expected to release a big number of players to make way for the new stars. The first two players have already been confirmed by the club. These being the captain Innocent Maela and midfielder Miguel Timm.
The latest name to that list has reportedly been added. According to Soccer-Laduma, Bafana Bafana international midfielder Goodman Mosele is also set to be released.
Mosele expected to leave?
“At the moment the club is dealing with one player at a moment and it’s apparently believed that Goodman Mosele is the next in line. I don’t think he will get a loan move this time around. It’s believed that the club is not renewing his contract when it expires at the end of the month. He is one of the few who the team is expected to release this month,” said the source.
Another source reiterated that the impending arrival of Sihle Nduli could drive Mosele out of Pirates.
“There are a few players in that department and with Sihle (Nduli) believed to have finalised the move they are cutting some off and Goodman (Mosele) is apparently one of the victims in that exercise,” said the second source.
Former Chiefs target
Last season, Mosele was linked with a move to Pirates’ arch rivals Kaizer Chiefs. This following a decent loan spell at Chippa United. Buccaneers, is letting him go the right decision?
