Orlando Pirates could lose talented Relebohile Mofokeng for just R31 million if he gets sold to Maccabi Haifa.
The 20-year-old has been described as a generational talent having been the Buccaneers’ best player this past season.
According to a report by Israeli publication Sport5, Maccabi Haifa have been monitoring the Bafana Bafana winger for some time and are ready to made a bid
“Orlando Pirates [are] demanding about 1.5 million euros (approx. R31.2 million) for the 20-year-old talent, as well as a percentage of any future sale,” the publication said.
Orlando Pirates demands R31 million for Mofokeng
The Buccaneers have one of the most talented young players the country has produced. Given Mofokeng’s achievent at such a young age, many would think the player is worth more than R31 million.
With the team set to jet off to Europe for their pre-season training, Pirates need to expose the young attacker as much as possible to European clubs. A bigger offer might emerge in the coming weeks or months before the transfer window closes.
Although R31 million is a lot of money, Orlando Pirates should know that Israel is not the best country for Mofokeng to improve as a player. Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos suggested the player to move to Belgium, Spain, Portugal or the Netherlands.
Where will Rele Mofokeng end up next season?
