Orlando Pirates’ young sensation Relebohile Mofokeng has had an unforgettable 2024, cementing his place as one of South Africa’s brightest football talents.

At just 20 years old, he has thrilled fans with his impressive goals, dazzling skills, and crucial assists, making a name for himself as a game-changer.

His standout performances, including a composed finish in the MTN8 Cup final, have only added to his growing reputation.

Bafana Bafana Coach Weighs In on Transfer Talks

With speculation swirling about a potential big-money move abroad, Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has voiced his concerns about Mofokeng’s next step.

Broos hopes the young star will make a move that prioritizes game time over financial gain.

“Talking about Mofokeng, I just hope that he makes the right decisions and doesn’t go to a team where he won’t play,” Broos told iDiski Times.

He acknowledged the rumors linking Mofokeng to Barcelona and Rangers but warned against making a choice driven by financial incentives rather than career development.

“I see all the things around, Barcelona and Rangers and… (sighs) I’m a little bit afraid.

I just hope the people around him prioritize the best sporting option rather than just the financial aspect.

His parents surely want the best for him, but sometimes other parties may have different motivations,” Broos added.

Barcelona’s Interest Confirmed

Rumors of interest from Barcelona are no longer just whispers, as sources have confirmed that the Spanish giants have been keeping an eye on Mofokeng.

According to an insider, Barcelona B team coaches have been monitoring his progress and have reached out through contacts in the PSL to gather more information about the player.

“There have been enquiries from Barcelona regarding Mofokeng,” a Siya source revealed.

“He is being followed closely, and the feedback from those who have been tracking him has been positive. There’s strong belief in his potential to play in top European leagues.”

What’s Next for Mofokeng?

With such high-profile interest, Mofokeng’s future remains a hot topic.

If he does leave Orlando Pirates, his next move could define his career.

The question remains—should he take the leap to Europe now, or stay a little longer in the PSL to refine his game further?
