Orlando Pirates Navigate a Major Squad Reduction by Letting Go of Seven Players, with More Possible Departures on the Way

Orlando Pirates are making significant changes to their squad, and it’s creating quite a buzz.

They’re currently working to reduce their roster from 40 players down to around 32 or 33.

Seven Players to Leave

In a major move, the team will be parting ways with seven players.

This means a wave of talent is set to leave Mayfair, shaking things up in a big way.

Goodman Mosele’s Uncertain Future

One player who might be on the move is former Bafana Bafana midfielder Goodman Mosele.

According to a source from SoccerLaduma, Mosele’s situation is a bit complicated.

He returned injured from Chippa United in May and is still recovering.

With strong competition from players like Makhehleni Makhuala, Thalente Mbathe, Miguel Timo, and Phillip Ndlondlo, the team is considering loaning Mosele out to give him more playing time.

This could be a stepping stone for him as the 2024/25 BetWay Premiership season approaches.

More Departures Expected

The exodus at Pirates doesn’t stop with just seven departures.

The team is rumored to be preparing to release an additional seven players, making it possible that up to 14 or more could leave the club.

While some players, like Mosele, might be loaned out, others may face permanent transfers.

So, what’s next for Orlando Pirates?

time will tell how these changes will reshape the team.
