Orlando Pirates get R31 million EFT, but it comes at a HUGE cost!

Posted on July 30, 2025

Orlando Pirates are considering another big sale. However, is the money on the table enough to justify letting go of Relebohile Mofokeng?

Pirates have already sold Mohau Nkota, and Rele Mofokeng is next.

When will a deal go down?

Orlando Pirates willing to sell Mofokeng

According to KickOff, an agreement between Pirates and Saudi outfit Al-Ettifaq over the transfer of Rele Mofokeng has been reached. The fee is in the region of €1.5 million (R31 million). Can Mofokeng be replaced with that money, though? In many ways, he’s already a priceless piece of the Pirates puzzle.

“Relebohele Mofokeng, the South African Orlando Pirates player, is set to move to Al-Ettifaq after the two clubs agreed on terms,” the publication, citing Saudi Arabian sources, stated.

“The sustainability committee’s approval is pending before the official announcement. The transfer is valued at €1.5 million.”

Orlando Pirates’ best XI WITHOUT Mofokeng and Nkota revealed?

Nkota is already settling in Saudi Arabia

It hasn’t taken Mohau Nkota long to brush shoulders with a Champions League winner and share a few laughs in the process. Gini Wijnaldum, now 34, became a cult favourite at Liverpool for his knack of scoring goals in big games. The Dutchman won the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup with the Reds, and he’s also vastly experienced on the international stage with 96 caps and 28 goals for the Netherlands. There’s also former PSG, Fulham, Lyon and Atlético Madrid attacker Moussa Dembélé. A South African ‘X’ user likes to think that Nkota and Wijnaldum were chatting in Afrikaans. Could have been!

Should the Pirates board be sanctioning the sale of Mofokeng at that price?
