Orlando Pirates news: Mofokeng, Ndlovu, Basadien, Aurelio
Orlando Pirates fans should love the latest transfer rumours coming from Mayfair. The reigning MTN8 Cup champions have an array of talent at their disposal, but that hasn't stopped them from scouting the continent for more. According to reports, the Buccaneers are eying African sensations Prince Ndlovu and Laurindo Depu Aurelio, the latter of which is also being monitored by Kaizer Chiefs. 'What I can tell you is that both teams had their scouts there. The scouts were all happy with what they saw in Depu and they enquired about him,' a source confirmed. 'Apparently Kaizer Chiefs wanted their defender Inacio Miguel to help them talk to the player and his representatives. And Orlando Pirates also believed to be willing to talk to the player. They have their different reasons but apparently the scouts from both clubs are happy with what they saw.' Meanwhile, the jury is still out as to whether the Sea Robbers will pursue long-term target Fawaaz Basadien, who is also on Mamelodi Sundowns and Chiefs' radar. Relebohile Mofokeng's future at Orlando Pirates remains in the balance with several sides from North Africa and Europe vying for his services. The 20-year-old's father believes he should flock South Africa 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 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.' '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.'
