As the Premier Soccer League (PSL) draws closer to its final curtain, the energy off the field is almost as intense as the action on it.
Clubs across South Africa are already laying the groundwork for a high-stakes offseason, eyeing potential transfers and assessing current contracts.
With the pressure on to keep up with the powerhouse that is Mamelodi Sundowns, teams like Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are wasting no time chasing top-tier talent.
Pirates Look to Bounce Back After Quiet January
Orlando Pirates had a surprisingly quiet January transfer window, but they’re now being linked to several high-profile names in a bid to strengthen their squad for next season.
Having watched Sundowns dominate yet again, the Buccaneers know they’ll need more firepower to mount a serious title challenge.
A glimmer of good news for Pirates fans? Monnapule Saleng is back in training, and despite coach Jose Riveiro’s departure, many are hopeful Saleng will stay put and play a key role next season.
The Battle for Tshepang Moremi Heats Up
One name stirring up plenty of transfer drama is Tshepang Moremi.
The AmaZulu FC midfielder is reportedly on the radar of all three PSL giants—Pirates, Sundowns, and Chiefs.
With such strong interest, the coming weeks could see a bidding war as clubs try to lock him in ahead of preseason.
AmaZulu Circle George Matlou Amid Chiefs Silence
Meanwhile, George Matlou‘s future at Kaizer Chiefs is looking more uncertain by the day.
With no renewal talks currently underway and his contract set to expire in June, Matlou could be up for grabs on a free transfer.
According to sources, AmaZulu FC have already shown early interest.
“They’ve enquired about him,” one insider told the media. Another added that since Chiefs haven’t offered him a new deal yet, Matlou could soon make his exit.
Kaizer Chiefs Activate Maart Clause to Keep Midfielder
While Matlou’s exit seems possible, Kaizer Chiefs have made a decisive move to hold on to another key player.
The club has reportedly activated a clause in Yusuf Maart’s contract, extending his stay for at least one more season.
With Chiefs aiming for a top-eight finish in the PSL, keeping players like Maart is crucial for their rebuild.
Mofokeng Tipped for European Move
As for Relebohile Mofokeng, Bafana Bafana boss Hugo Broos has stirred speculation that the young star may be playing his final PSL season.
Broos hinted that Mofokeng could be heading abroad soon, setting off plenty of chatter about a possible overseas transfer once the window opens.
