Orlando Pirates news: New sponsor revealed, Basadien latest
It's not just players that Orlando Pirates are luring; the latest news coming from Mayfair indicates commercial success. The Soweto giants have penned a brand deal with Japanese car manufacturer Suzuki. 'A new chapter starts here. Suzuki is proud to be the official vehicle partner of Orlando Pirates Football Club. From the streets to the stadium, we move as one,' Suzuki announced on social media. Orlando Pirates have a potent array of sponsors, from Adidas and Aquelle to Vodacom and Carling Black Label. Long-term target Fawaaz Basadien appears on the brink of securing a move to Mamelodi Sundowns after missing training this morning. Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates fans continue to wait patiently (and anxiously) regarding the future of Relebohile Mofokeng, whose father, Sechaba, is eager for him to leave this offseason. 'My biggest wish is to see Rele overseas in 2025/2026. I'm praying every day. I don't want to see him in the Betway Premiership again this season. I know God will answer my prayers,' Sechaba Mofokeng said. '[Whether it's in] Spain, England, Netherlands, France, Denmark, Switzerland — Rele can play. I believe that with all my heart. Take him to Barcelona? He can play. PSG? He can play. Any country. I'll be happy — but not Saudi Arabia,' he added. 'Not yet. He's still young. He needs to compete in UEFA competitions. If he goes to Saudi now, he won't experience that. Yes, he'd be rich — but happiness is more important. You can have all the money in the world, but if you're not happy, it's worthless.'

Kaizer Chiefs management give green light for striker!
Kaizer Chiefs concluded their pre-season in the Netherlands with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Twente, marking their fourth defeat in five games. The underwhelming record hasn't appeared to shatter AmaKhosi's confidence, who have returned home in a seemingly chipper mood. 'We had a very exciting pre-season,' an insider revealed. 'It was a great space for the team to be in so that coaches can strategise and players blend in and connect.' Six signings have occurred this offseason, but Kaizer Chiefs are yet to land a formidable striker, which has them remaining active in the transfer market. 'Yes, the club has already signed six players this season, but it's believed that the head coach and his technical team still need at least one experienced striker to help them mainly in the CAF Confederation Cup and management is willing to sign another striker if that's what the technical team needs so that they have a well-balanced squad which will compete in all the tournaments, ' a source confirmed. According to reports, Kaizer Chiefs have been offered Cameroonian striker Ravel Djoumekou. The 25-year-old currently plays for Congo's FC Saint Eloi Lupopo. 'He is an experienced striker who could really help Chiefs at this stage,' a sourced explained. 'He has been offered to Chiefs in their quest to sign a striker and now it's up to Chiefs' scouts and analysts to assess him and make a decision after that. But if they make their decision to sign him, then he would be available.' A second source reaffirmed Kaizer Chiefs' inquiry, saying, 'Of course, the club hasn't finished signings yet. They are still looking at other players. Some you may know, others you may not know. So if this striker is good as they say, then the club would be considering him as well, as it's believed they haven't finished signings yet for this coming season.'
