Orlando Pirates fans might want to brace themselves—because Relebohile Mofokeng could be on his way out.
The 20-year-old rising star is attracting serious interest from Europe, and it looks like the Dutch powerhouse PSV Eindhoven is leading the charge.
PSV Eindhoven Pushes Hard with Mega Offer
According to sources close to the deal, PSV aren’t just kicking the tyres—they’re making a real push to sign the talented attacker.
The club is reportedly working on a deal worth well over R100 million, with negotiations originally touching R120 million.
“It’s not just R100 million flat—it’s more than that,” a source revealed, suggesting talks have been heating up behind the scenes.
From Iqraam Rayners to Mofokeng: A Shift in Focus
Interestingly, the European scouts had initially set their sights on Iqraam Rayners.
But that interest has now pivoted entirely to Mofokeng, whose recent form has only added fuel to the transfer speculation.
In what could have been a final bow for the club, Mofokeng scored in Pirates’ recent 2-0 win over Spanish side Granada.
If it was a farewell, it was certainly a memorable one.
Surprise Moves Shake Up the Squad
If Mofokeng does leave, he won’t be the only big name walking out the door.
One of the more unexpected exits came from Monnapule Saleng, who has returned to Orbit College—a club where he previously shined before making a name in the PSL.
“I’m really happy to be back,” Saleng said about his return.
“Being home again after everything just feels right.”
Also out the door is Mohau Nkota, as part of the team’s ongoing pre-season restructuring.
With over 11 new signings including Oswin Appollis and Tshepang Moremi, the Pirates aren’t just losing players—they’re rebuilding in a big way.
Steady Leadership Amid the Turnover
While there’s been a lot of movement in and out of the club, some stability remains.
Makhehlene Makhaula, the veteran midfielder, is sticking around. His agent confirmed that talks for a new contract have been positive, and a deal looks set to keep him with the Bucs.
All Eyes on Mofokeng’s Future
Still, it’s Mofokeng’s potential departure that has fans buzzing the most.
With a move that could redefine both his career and the club’s transfer window, all eyes are on how the Pirates will handle this situation.
Whether it’s the lure of European football or the chance to cash in big, Orlando Pirates now face a defining decision—hold onto their homegrown star or let him chase greatness abroad.
