Pirates to sign Ndlovu?

Highlanders FC CEO Denzel Mnkandla has refuted claims Bucs have made an offer, but stated he is ready to let the younsgter leave, but with the right price.

“Yeah, I’ve just also been seeing these rumours about Prince. Unfortunately at the moment, there has not been any formal communication between Orlando Pirates and ourselves, Highlanders, regarding Prince. So unfortunately, I can neither confirm nor deny if there is such interest,” he told Soccer Laduma.

“However, Prince is a good young player, with very good potential and we were actually planning with him in our squad, he’s coming here. But I mean with transfers, anything can happen and ultimately if the player feels he is in the right moment to move, then we cannot stop that.

“But like I said, unfortunately, we haven’t yet had any formal or written interest from Orlando Pirates. But yeah history will tell you that Highlanders always sells players to South Africa. Most recently we sold Mason Mushore to AmaZulu. So we have got a good relationship with South African teams in terms of player transfers and we hope that continues,” he concluded.
