Orlando Pirates have been moving vigorously ahead of the next season with some signings already wrapped up.
Pirates once again finished second to Mamelodi Sundowns in the Betway Premiership in a very encouraging season.
Pirates bracing for another busy season
The Buccaneers defended their MTN8 title, making history by winning it three times in a row. Furthermore they reached the final of the Nedbank Cup, losing to arch rivals Kaizer Chiefs. But perhaps, most impressively, after finally getting back into the CAF Champions League group stages, Pirates reached the semifinal.
With this campaign proving to be the last under the guidance of Spanish coach Jose Riveiro, a new era beckons. Pirates are seemingly not waiting around to appoint their new coach before beefing up their squad either. There are reports of the Sea Robbers already wrapping up six transfer agreements. This before the market even opens officially.
Moremi interest intensifies
Last week this publication reported that Pirates were about to send a bid for Tshepang Moremi to AmaZulu. Now fresh from making his Bafana Bafana debut, Soccerzone now claims the two clubs are in advanced talks. The show also claims that all parties are confident that a deal can be struck. There is also a feeling that the talks are going pretty smoothly in that regard. Watch video below.
Pirates are already blessed with wide attackers, with youngsters Relebohile Mofokeng and Mohau Nkota at the forefront. There are also other options such as Karim Kimvuidi and the situation with Monnapule Saleng also hanging in limbo. It now remains to be seen if Moremi could be signed to replace any of the names above ahead of the next season.
Right fit for the Buccaneers?
On loan winger Katlego Otladisa is also rumoured to be heading back to Pirates, but wether he will stay on, remains to be seen.
