Orlando Pirates youngster Relebohile Mofokeng has been doing well since his promotion to the senior team later in the 2022/23 season.
The Bafana Bafana international has made 89 appearances for the Sea Robbers, where he has found the back of the net 18 times and provided 22 assists in the process. It explains why top clubs abroad have been linked with the 20-year-old ahead of the forthcoming transfer window, which opens up in July.
Mamelodi Sundowns legend Teko Modise has urged Mofokeng to consider leaving the Sea Robbers for a better deal financially and an opportunity to advance his career.
‘Rele is going to be a superstar'
“When it comes to Rele, it’s very difficult for Orlando Pirates to sell, especially when it comes to top players,” he opened up to FARPost.
“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.
“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'm rallying that he goes overseas’
“I strongly believe that Orlando Pirates know what they have. I just hope that it happens for the boy, I hope that it happens for the boy,” he added.
“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 continued.
