Teko Modise knows the world of being an Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana superstar like Relebohile Mofokeng.

The Soweto-born legend has sent what sounds like a plea to Orlando Pirates regarding the future of the 20-year-old Mofokeng. Randfontein-born star had a decent season with 12 goals and 15 assists in 49 games.

According to Modise, Mofokeng is ripe to take the ideal next step in his career. It is a move to Europe, where football is at its highest level.

“When it comes to Rele, it’s very difficult for Orlando Pirates to sell, especially when it comes to top players,” Modise told FARPost on the talented Sea Robber.

“The last time they had a player who was exciting like that was [Thembinkosi] Lorch. Yes, sometimes, as South African fans, we want to see the youngsters go further abroad and do great things,” the Orlando Pirates legend added.

TIME IS OF THE ESSSENCE

“I just wish that happens for him sooner rather than later so that he becomes a better player. The better Rele, the better the national team will be, cause at some point, he’s going to be the superstar of the national team.

“I strongly believe that Orlando Pirates know what they have. I just hope that it happens for the boy, I so wish that it happens for the boy.

“It will not only improve his life but also his family. He must play the UEFA Champions League, cause I think if he gets to be in that type of position, I’ll be more proud because he would have gotten the opportunities that I never had.

“I’m rallying that he goes [overseas] because it would be great to see the youngster that we’ve all seen from the DDC to the PSL to actually go overseas. That would be great,” Modise added on the young Buccaneer.
