Mamelodi Sundowns star Thembinkosi Lorch is one of the six players who are reportedly set to leave Masandawana if any reasonable offer is tabled.
THEMBINKOSI LORCH AND FIVE OTHERS UP FOR SALE
Confirmed reports have it that the new Mamelodi Sundowns coach, Miguel Cardoso, has since informed the club that he hopes to trim his squad and let go of some of the players not in his plans.
The South Africanhas since established that the club will trim its squad for an overhaul in key positions to compete for honours at the FIFA Club World Cup this year.
However, against the news, sports blogger Austin Ditlhobolo has revealed six players who are allegedly available for sale at Mamelodi Sundowns.
Taking to Facebook, he posted, “Miguel Cardoso and Flemming Berg are hoping to trim down the Mamelodi Sundowns squad before tomorrow night. They are available on loan/permanent deals.
- Thapelo Maseko
- Lesiba Nku
- Lebohang Maboe
- Thembinkosi Lorch
- Reyaad Pieterse
- Erwin Saavedra
Reports have it that the players are all available on loan and permanent deals.
However, it is understood that even if nothing materialises before the transfer window, most players on the list will be released at the end of the season.
RUMOURED KAIZER CHIEFS MOVE
The post has since fueled Thembinkosi Lorch’s rumoured move to Kaizer Chiefs. With hours left before the transfer deadline, Sunday World reports that Kaizer Chiefs are in talks for Lorch.
However, the Soweto giants have not addressed the news that thrust the club into top trends. Surprisingly, the club is letting go of Lorch barely a year after he joined from Orlando Pirates.
His stint with Mamelodi Sundowns hasn’t been as colourful as many hope for.
If the deal materialises before the transfer deadline, he will join a host of Mamelodi Sundowns stars who have joined Kaizer Chiefs.
Big names who moved from Sundowns to Kaizer Chiefs include Sibusiso Khumalo, Khama Billiat and Leonardo Castro.
POOR RUN OF FORM
Thembinkosi Lorch has struggled with game time, and injuries continue to take a toll on his career. Apart from that, he has had a fallout with Mamelodi Sundowns with his social media posts.
Earlier this year, Thembinkosi Lorch trended after celebrating Rhulani Mokwena’s birthday in Orlando Pirates colours. Others found it disrespectful.
WILL THEMBINKOSI LORCH’S DEAL TO KAIZER CHIEFS MATERILISE?
