Orlando Pirates rising star Relebohile Mofokeng is reportedly on the brink of securing a high-profile move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq FC. The 20-year-old winger is said to be in advanced talks with the Dammam-based outfit, where he could soon link up with fellow South African Mohau Nkota.
Sources close to the negotiations have indicated that discussions between the Buccaneers and Al-Ettifaq are progressing positively, with all parties hopeful of reaching an agreement in the coming days. The Saudi Pro League club has been tracking Mofokeng closely following his standout displays in the DStv Premiership and for the South African national team.
Should the deal be finalized, it would mark a major step in Mofokeng’s career, providing the young talent with both international exposure and financial rewards. While he has also attracted interest from European sides, the Saudi move is seen as a strategic opportunity to grow in a competitive and increasingly high-profile league.
Al-Ettifaq reportedly views Mofokeng as a long-term investment and an integral piece of their attacking rebuild. His flair, speed, and calmness under pressure are qualities that the club’s technical staff believe can thrive in the Middle Eastern football environment.
The potential transfer also highlights the growing trend of South African players finding opportunities in Saudi Arabia, with Nkota having already paved the way by joining Al-Ettifaq earlier this year.
Although no official statement has been released, sources suggest that an announcement confirming Mofokeng’s move could be made soon, as the deal enters its final stages. Football fans and analysts alike now await confirmation of a transfer that could elevate one of South Africa’s brightest prospects to a new level.
