Orlando Pirates superstar Relebohile Mofokeng continues to make headlines.
Orlando Pirates recently shut down rumours that PSV Eindhoven had a R120 million offer for Relebohile Mofokeng. However, new reports have emerged stating that a club in the Middle East is interested in securing the skilful Bucs attackers signature.
Yet again, big money is being reported. This time, over R40 million has reportedly been tabled for the Pirates attacker and fan favourite.
PIRATES RECEIVE OVER R40-MILLION OFFER
Pirates have reportedly received an offer of over R43-million for Mofokeng from a club in the Middle East.
“Bucs are, however, understood to have received another offer, this time in excess of $2.5 million (R44.3 million) for Mofokeng from the Middle East. This is more than what the Tel Aviv club is reported to have wanted to pay, according to Israeli media,” the insider stated on SNL.
As mentioned, this is more than they were originally planning to offer.
Meaning, if these reports are true, they are quite serious about signing Mofokeng.
Furthermore, further reports claim that a club in Europe is interested. Israeli outfit, Tel Aviv are the other side interested in signing Mofokeng.
SA-BORN DIRECTOR ENVISIONS MOFOKENG AT TEL AVIV
Tel Aviv director Domic Price sees Mofokeng as a big part of his plans for the Israeli-based side.
“Sources with an expertise in the Israeli football market have informed the Siya crew that the club’s Sporting Director, Dominic Price, envisions the 20-year-old South African playing a significant role for the team,” the insider concluded.
Moreover, Price sentiment is supported by the club.
“Now, a Siya source close to the player has indicated that The Yellows remain huge admirers of the Sharpeville native and believe that a move to Bloomfield Stadium could present him with an introduction to European football,” the insider added.
The SA-born director is serious about bringing Mofokeng to Israel. Given his talent and skills, it comes as no surprise that there is reported persistence for Mofokeng’s signature.
SHOULD MOFOKENG LEAVE PIRATES TO PURSUE A CAREER IN EUROPE OR SAUDI ARABIA?
