Orlando Pirates Winger Monnapule Saleng Remains in Limbo as His Agent Refuses to Comment on His Future

Monnapule Saleng’s future with Orlando Pirates is uncertain, and his agent, Karabo Tshabuse, isn’t shedding any light on the situation.

The 26-year-old winger has been sidelined for months now, but the reasons behind his absence from the squad are still unclear to the public.

Speculation Surrounds Saleng’s Future

There were rumors surrounding a possible move for Saleng in January, with many speculating that the attacker would be leaving the Buccaneers.

Despite all the buzz, Orlando Pirates managed to keep hold of him for the rest of the season.

However, with the season well underway, Saleng remains out of action and hasn’t made an appearance on matchdays under coach Jose Riveiro.

Saleng’s Last Competitive Match for Pirates

Saleng’s last appearance for Orlando Pirates was on 7 December 2024 during a CAF Champions League match against Al Ahly.

This marked the end of his involvement in competitive matches, with no sign of him rejoining the squad.

He’s made 13 appearances for Pirates this season, scoring five goals, contributing greatly to the team’s success.

A Glimpse at Saleng’s Impact at Pirates

Since joining Pirates two and a half years ago, Saleng has had a remarkable impact.

He has won three MTN8 trophies and two Nedbank Cups during his time at the club, while also registering 25 goals and 17 assists in 70 appearances.

Despite his impressive track record, it seems younger players like Mohau Nkota and Relebohile Mofokeng have moved ahead of him in the pecking order.

What Lies Ahead for Saleng?

As the season progresses, questions linger about whether coach Riveiro will give Saleng another chance before the current campaign ends.

However, Tshabuse, Saleng’s agent, has made it clear that he’s not in a position to discuss any details regarding his client’s future at this time.

When approached by KickOff, Tshabuse simply stated, “I’m not in a position to comment on anything regarding my client at the moment.”

With no clear answer from the agent and the winger’s future still uncertain, Orlando Pirates fans will have to wait and see what unfolds next for Saleng.
