The excitement surrounding Orlando Pirates is reaching new heights as the team edges closer to securing a spot in the Champions League semi-finals.
After a solid 1-0 victory against MC Alger in the first leg, the Buccaneers are eyeing the next phase of their continental journey.
But it’s not just their Champions League aspirations that have fans buzzing; the club is also busy behind the scenes, negotiating with some of South Africa’s top football talents, including AmaZulu FC winger Tshepang Moremi.
Tshepang Moremi Set to Join Orlando Pirates
The 24-year-old Moremi is poised to become a free agent when his current contract with AmaZulu FC expires on June 30.
This has opened the door for Orlando Pirates to secure his signature for next season.
This move would add depth and creativity to the team, further bolstering their attacking options.
According to Kick Off, the club has already entered into negotiations with Moremi, and fans are hopeful that the talented attacker will be donning Pirates colors in the near future.
Monnapule Saleng Returns to Training After Long Absence
In other positive news, Monnapule Saleng has made his return to training after a long hiatus of nearly four months.
The talented winger had last been seen in action on December 7, and his absence from matchday squads has been a source of concern for fans.
Rumors surrounding Saleng’s situation suggested a dispute over salary demands, which Orlando Pirates management felt were unreasonable.
However, recent developments suggest that a reunion between Saleng and the club may be imminent.
A source close to the team mentioned, “He will be back, and he is working hard to make sure that it happens.
It’s a complex situation that isn’t easy for anyone to understand, and we are waiting for the club to make a statement.
We expect the club to issue a statement soon, and until then, we just have to wait.”
