Orlando Pirates are set to announce a number of new signings soon as the transfer window opens for next season.
Pirates are rumoured to have been busy with boosting their squad ahead of another busy campaign in 2025/26.
Pirates looking to revamp their squad
One of the positions that Pirates seem keen to revamp ahead of the new campaign, is their midfield. According to reports, the Buccaneers have transfer agreements in place to sign Sihle Nduli and Sinoxolo Kwayiba. Nduli would be arriving from Stellenbosch FC as a free agent, while Kwayiba is set to join from Chippa United.
But that won’t be all as this publication reported last week that they’re back interested in Prince Ndlovu. The teenage Zimbabwean prodigy was on trial with the Pirates two-years ago but was primed for a move abroad instead. But after that did not materialise, he stayed at Highlanders FC who have quoted the Buccaneers R15m for his services!
Slapped with R15m price tag for Ndlovu
“Highlanders FC value Prince (Ndlovu) and that’s why they are pricing him at around R15million. For now this price is believed to be directed at South African team Orlando Pirates because apparently they are the ones who have enquired about his services. Highlanders believe it’s a fair price looking at his talent, quality and future ahead of him,” said a source to Soccer-Laduma.
Ndlovu was first introduced to South Africa and Pirates fans in March of 2023. That is when he came to train with the Sea Robbers after impressing their scouts with his progress in Zimbabwe. The player, still very young, has grown in leaps and bounds since then and is currently part of the Warriors’ COSAFA Cup squad.
Would he be worth that money Buccaneers?
Pirates already have two young wingers in Relebohile Mofokeng and Mohau Nkota. Adding the exciting Ndlovu to the mix will increase their depth and strength for next season. Buccaneers will Ndlovu, would this be a good move for the club? Let us know by clicking on the comment tab. Or by emailing info@thesouthafrican.com or sending a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
