Orlando Pirates reject massive multi-million bid from Zamalek for rising star Relebohile Mofokeng in South Africa

Orlando Pirates have made it clear that they are not letting go of their young sensation, Relebohile Mofokeng, despite growing interest from clubs both locally and internationally.

The 19-year-old midfielder has been turning heads with his performances, attracting offers from multiple teams in recent months. However, the Buccaneers remain adamant that he is not for sale.

From Barcelona Rumors to North African Interest

Mofokeng’s rise has been nothing short of spectacular, and the transfer rumors started swirling long before the window even opened.

Early reports had fans buzzing about a potential move to Barcelona B, though those links were later revealed to be more of a casual inquiry from a Barcelona coach rather than a serious transfer pursuit.

After the dust settled on the Barcelona speculation, Egyptian giants Al Ahly reportedly expressed interest in securing Mofokeng’s signature.

While it seemed like a major move was on the cards, insiders later suggested that it was agents, rather than the club itself, who were pushing for the deal.

As the transfer window progressed, Wydad Casablanca also emerged as a potential suitor.

Though there were claims that they had submitted an offer, those rumors never materialized into anything concrete.

A Big-Money Offer from Zamalek Gets Rejected

Just when it seemed like the transfer window was closing without any major developments, another North African powerhouse, Zamalek, stepped into the mix.

According to reports, the Egyptian club submitted a formal offer of $1.4 million (R25.8 million) for Mofokeng’s services on the final day of their transfer window.

However, Pirates wasted no time in rejecting the bid, making it clear that they see Mofokeng as an integral part of their plans.

The Buccaneers, like Zamalek, are gunning for domestic and continental glory, and letting go of one of their most promising talents mid-season was never an option.

Pirates Fans Weigh In on Mofokeng’s Value

With the club standing firm on their decision to keep Mofokeng, many Pirates fans are celebrating the move.

The young midfielder has been a key part of the squad, and supporters believe he has the potential to become a superstar.

Now the big question remains—how much is Mofokeng really worth? Should Pirates continue to hold onto him for the long haul, or would a higher offer in the future be too good to turn down?

What do you think? Are you happy that Pirates rejected Zamalek’s offer, or should they have cashed in? Share your thoughts in the comments!
