Orlando Pirates has only made two appearances this season, while Siphelo Baloni has been loaned out to Chippa United. Meanwhile, the Sea Robbers are reportedly attempting to sign a new creative midfielder.
ORLANDO PIRATES TO SIGN MAMELODI SUNDOWNS TARGET JAYDEN ADAMS FROM STELLENBOSCH FC?
As local media reported between August and September, Sundowns very nearly signed Stellies’ 23-year-old midfielder Adams when the Cape Winelands club rejected two bids.
According to new reports, Orlando Pirates have entered the race. The Sea Robbers are said to be planning to offer cash and their 24-year-old midfielder Goodman Mosele to Stellenbosch for Adams’ signature.
WHAT THE SOURCES SAY
“At the moment the way things stand, Pirates are in a much better position to sign Jayden (Adams). They have offered Stellenbosch FC money plus Goodman Mosele for that deal to go through,” the first source told Soccer Laduma.
“Yes, it’s still early stages but that is how things start. They could actually overtake Mamelodi Sundowns in that race. They are confident they can have the deal sealed in the next transfer window period which is in January.
“It’s believed that Van Rooyen has been talking to Jayden (Adams) to him about life at Pirates. They are very close and that could also influence the move. But it will all depend on the talks between Stellenbosch FC and Orlando Pirates and if Mamelodi Sundowns could go all the way and meet the price tag that Stellies had put up towards the end of the last transfer window in September,” a second source added.
