Joburg - Relebohile Mofokeng is a promising young player for Stellenbosch FC, and according to reports, Orlando Pirates have made a staggering R120 million bid to sign him. As a result of his stellar play this season in the DStv Premiership, numerous major teams, both domestic and international, have taken an interest in the 19-year-old offensive midfielder.
A source close to the negotiations has revealed that the Buccaneers have made a big offer in an effort to entice the highly-rated youngster away from the Western Cape team. Mofokeng is one of the most sought-after players in South African football due to his explosive speed, technical ability, and goal-scoring prowess.
His efforts were crucial to Stellenbosch FC's remarkable season. The offer has not been formally acknowledged by either club, but sources close to the matter say that Stellenbosch FC are seriously contemplating it because of the substantial financial ramifications.
On the other hand, with continental qualifying in their sights, the club is understandably reluctant to let go of a player who has grown into an essential cog in their system. As the Orlando Pirates want to strengthen their roster for the forthcoming season, signing Mofokeng would be a huge coup. Mofokeng is the kind of young, exciting player the Sea Robbers have been looking for to bolster their offensive options.
He gives the Pirates more options in the final third because to his versatility, which lets him play as either a winger or an advanced playmaker. Fans of the Buccaneers are ecstatic about the possible transfer and want to see the team make a move. The race to sign Mofokeng is far from over, though, as he is being watched by clubs in Europe.
Mofokeng has tremendous potential, and if the deal goes through, it will be one of the most costly transfers in South African football history. Everything is riding on the next move by Stellenbosch FC and the success or failure of Orlando Pirates in securing their primary target.
