According to Egyptian publication KingFut, Al Ahly are keen on signing Relebohile Mofokeng from Pirates.
“Entering the race for his signature is also Egyptian and African giants Al Ahly,” the publication reported.
“Ahly are understood to be set to let go of Frenchman Anthony Modeste as well as Malian midfielder Aliou Dieng in the summer, which would allow the club to sign two new foreign players to their squad.”
Further reports also suggest he’s being closely monitored in Europe!
“Rangers are reportedly tracking a wonderkid from South Africa,” a Rangers Review report read.
“Reports from Scouts in Attendance claim Rangers are one of a number of European teams interested in Orlando Pirates winger Relebohile Mofokeng. They report that the Ibrox club are keeping tabs on the emerging talent, aged 19.”
In other news, Orlando Pirates have reportedly secured the services of talented SuperSport United defender Kegan Johannes for next season.
Despite being just 23 years of age, Johannes already has over 70 top-flight appearances to his name. The speedy fullback made a name for himself at Ajax Cape Town (now Cape Town Spurs) before joining SuperSport United in 2021.
According to the latest reports, Jose Riveiro’s side have swooped in to sign the talented defender in a big-money move!
Johannes had recently signed a new contract extension at SuperSport United, meaning Orlando Pirates had to fork out the big bucks for their target.
