Orlando Pirates Transfer News: Mofokeng set to leave? New winger’s deal ‘as good as done!’

Orlando Pirates might lose their talented versatile winger Relebohile Mofokeng in the next transfer window as clubs from the continent and Europe are linked with him.

So far, the 21-year-old has 10 goals and seven assists in 22 Premier Soccer League matches underlining his impact in the final third. The versatile attacker is also expected to make the Bafana Bafana squad that will be playing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be co-hosted by Mexico.

It explains why Bucs have reportedly opened talks with Siwelele FC regarding their 19-year-old winger Bohlale Ngwato who is one of the promising talents in South Africa.

Despite the many options Bucs have in the attacking department, it seems they are not ready to risk injuries happening or, as anticipated, Mofokeng leaves in the off-season transfer window.

What reports say

“The deal is good as done. The youngster will be wearing Black and White colours next season,” KickOff reported.

Furthermore, former Chippa United coach Thabo September has explained why the teenager will bring a positive impact to Pirates.

“He is a very good boy, well-disciplined both on and off the field. When was at the academy, he was still at school and was doing well,” he told the aforementioned platform.

“He is a very good player and skillful. He can run in and out and cross the ball, more like how Daine Klate used to do. You must not look at his body, he is very strong and hardworking,” the tactician concluded.

Who else is joining Pirates

The onloan attacker Kabelo Kgositsile is set to join the Soweto giants as confirmer by Baroka chairman Khurishi Mphahlele.

“Kabelo Kgositsile will be moving to Orlando Pirates at the end of the season. The transfer is still in progress, and nothing has changed. He is currently an Orlando Pirates player.

“Losing a talent of his calibre may be challenging, but it is part of the sport. I must return to grassroots development and identify the next talented player,” he concluded.
