Orlando Pirates could be braced for an ambitious transfer bid from Al Ahly for one of their key players. On Monday, reports surfaced that Al Ahly were interested in Pirates superstar Relebohile Mofokeng . Al Ahly interested in Mofokeng It is believed that the club of the century are looking to have Mofokeng in their rankings this window.
This in the hope that he can lead their charge at the FIFA Club World Cup taking place at the end of the season. Al Ahly recently played against Pirates in the CAF Champions League , a 0-0 stalemate. The game at the Orlando stadium was enough to show the Egyptian side’s top brass that the 20-year-old is indeed quality.
Now following reports that Al Ahly want to bring Mofokeng in, Pirates have reportedly responded swiftly. According to SuperSport journalist Karabo Phasha , the club will not entertain any offers from the continent for their star man. Pirates not interested in selling to African club “Pirates NOT Interested In African Deal For Rele There has been interest in precocious talent Rele Mofokeng from three giants of North African football However, Orlando Pirates are ONLY considering a European move.
” Phasha posted on his official X account. This is not the first time Mofokeng has been linked with Al Ahly. Last season they were the only African side that was thought to be interested in signing him from Pirates.
This in the face of European giants, Glasgow Rangers and Red Bull Salzburg . What next? It does, however, seem as if Pirates will only let Mofokeng go for a life changing deal abroad. They also know that if he keeps playing the way he is now, his price can only go up.
There at the end of the season they can have more options and a bigger asking fee for the player. Pirates fans, how would you feel about Mofokeng leaving the club for Al Ahly? Feel free to leave your thoughts and comments in the comments below..
