Orlando Pirates star midfielder set to exit after Timm
A source revealed that the Bucs are actively trimming their squad to make way for a fresh, competitive line up. The source confirmed that the club plans to let Mosele go next.
'At the moment the club is dealing with one player at a moment. And it's apparently believed that Goodman Mosele is the next in line. I don't think he will get a loan move this time around. It's believed that the club is not renewing his contract when it expires at the end of the month,' the source stated.
The imminent arrival of Sihle Nduli has intensified competition in the Pirates' midfield. Forcing management to make tough decisions. Mosele appears to be one of the casualties in a department already brimming with talent.
'There are a few players in that department and with Sihle (Nduli) believed to have finalised the move. They are cutting some off and Goodman is apparently one of the victims,' the source observed.
Since joining Pirates from Baroka FC in 2021, Mosele has shown great potential. His loan spell at Chippa United in 2023 proved fruitful, earning him a Bafana Bafana call-up. Despite these achievements, the club seems unwilling to extend his contract beyond June.
At 25, Mosele prepares to enter the market as a free agent. A potentially valuable acquisition for rival PSL sides in need of midfield depth.
The Sea Robbers are making it clear, the squad rebuild is in full swing, and no one's place is guaranteed.
Should Orlando Pirates release Mosele or give him more game time?

Orlando Pirates news: Mofokeng price tag, MTN8 fitness doubts
Orlando Pirates may be counting the cost of their European pre-season. Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has hinted that several players are carrying knocks, just weeks out from the MTN8 Cup. Although he didn't reveal names, Ouaddou's vague injury update has sparked concern. 'The game is played by young men,' he told local media. 'Swelling and niggles are normal.' The injuries could prove disruptive, with Pirates set to face Polokwane City in the tournament's quarter-finals. The match will also be a test for new signings like Oswin Appollis and Tshepang Moremi, should they be fit to feature. The bigger distraction, however, remains the future of Relebohile Mofokeng. PSV are the latest club pushing hard to sign the Orlando Pirates wonderkid. And the numbers being discussed are staggering. 'The R100 million talk is misleading,' a source said. 'It was initially R120 million.' That hasn't stopped interest, nor has it silenced Mofokeng's father. Sechaba Mofokeng made it clear he doesn't want his son playing in South Africa next season. 'Spain, England, Netherlands — Rele can play anywhere. But not Saudi Arabia. He needs to experience UEFA football,' he said. Let us know by leaving a comment below or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.

New Orlando Pirates signing will 'die' on the field
Orlando Pirates have signed a gem. Kamogelo Sebelebele's former TS Galaxy coach Adnan Beganović has said the winger earned his big break and insists the Buccaneers are getting a complete player both on and off the pitch. The Tembisa-born player's development under Beganović at TS Galaxy culminated in a breakout 2024/25 season, during which he made 29 appearances, scored five goals, and delivered two assists. His progress has been rapid, and his elevation to one of the most exciting prospects in South African football is, according to Beganović, no accident. Update on Kaizer Chiefs and Nigerian striker New Orlando Pirates winger Kamogelo Sebelebele in Bafana Bafana colours. Image: CosafaTV 'He deserves to sign that contract because he has been with Galaxy for five years. He is an amazing human being, and the next step for him is to join a club like Orlando Pirates,' Beganović told Sowetan . Kaizer Chiefs news: R70 million income and experienced number six 'He made a good decision to join Pirates because he can still improve there; everything he needs is present. I believe he will get ample game time because he is a complete soccer player… I firmly believe he will excel. 'He's a good player with the right attitude… He deserves that, again he adds value to the team… Tired or not tired, he'll die on the field up until the last whistle. I'm happy for Kamogelo, he deserves this move to be honest,' the Serbian mentor concluded.
