Orlando Pirates could be about to have their resolve test with regards to the future of Relebohile Mofokeng per reports.
Mofokeng is again the subject of interest from clubs abroad after performing well for Pirates in his third season.
Mofokeng the subject of international interest
That has further heightened the hype around Mofokeng, who was already linked with an exit last season. During the campaign last season, the diminutive attacker even attended trials with English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers. In the end, nothing seemed to materialise from that situation. But by the end of the campaign, there were more clubs looking to prize him away from Pirates.
It was reported that all of Glasgow Rangers, RB Salzburg and even Al Ahly on the continent were interested in Mofokeng. Furthermore, there were talks of a potential deal to Barcelona ‘B’ that was doing the rounds. But again, nothing official happened and the 20-year-old remained at Pirates for another season.
Now according to Soccer-Laduma citing Israeli reports, giants Maccabi Haifa have submitted an offer for Mofokeng. It is believed they have tabled a bid worth R31 million to Pirates for the winger’s services.
Maccabi Haifa offer R31m
“The latest update is according to Israeli publication Sport Walla, which also discussed how Maccabi Haifa have submitted an improved offer to Pirates worth around €1.5 million (approx R31 million) for the 20-year-old winger. The publication also notes a condition of retaining a 20% sell-on clause in the deal for Pirates. The Israeli giants are eager to wrap up the transfer, but face stiff competition from domestic rivals Maccabi Tel Aviv, who have matched the financial terms of the proposal and are also pushing to convince both Pirates and Mofokeng to accept their offer.” Wrote the publication.
