Monnapule Saleng demands fair pay or exit – Latest
The Pirates winger is ready to leave the club after a salary dispute left him side lined, with potential suitors already eyeing the star.
Monnapule Saleng demands fair pay or he will exit. Here is the latest on this saga.
Saleng is reportedly unhappy with his treatment at Orlando Pirates and plans to submit a transfer request at the end of the season, according to The Citizen.
The talented winger has been sidelined since December, with his last appearance coming against Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League group stage. Sources claim that his absence stems from a dispute over salary, as Saleng allegedly requested a pay raise.
Salary dispute sparks friction between Saleng and Pirates
Saleng’s parents recently confirmed to Sunday World that their son is dissatisfied with his current earnings at the Buccaneers. Reports suggest he takes home around R70,000 per month—an amount he believes does not reflect his contributions to the club.
Despite his lack of game time at Pirates, Saleng was called up for the CHAN qualifier against Egypt and started in the 1-1 draw at Free State Stadium. His selection has fueled further speculation about his potential departure from Pirates.
Source confirms Saleng wants out
A close source has revealed that Saleng is determined to leave if the situation does not improve.
“He’s not happy with how he has been treated by Pirates. He feels he deserves better, especially considering what he has done for the club. Even this season, he was performing well before everything changed. He just wants a fair deal from Pirates, that’s all,” said the source.
From Free State Stars to potential Pirates exit
Saleng joined Orlando Pirates from Free State Stars in 2021 and quickly showed his potential. The club loaned him to Moroka Swallows, where he gained valuable experience and developed into a stronger player. Upon his return to Pirates, he impressed fans with his skill and contributions on the field. However, his growing frustration with the club’s management and salary disputes have cast a shadow over his future. With no signs of a resolution, Saleng has started exploring options for his next move. Clubs both locally and internationally may soon line up to secure his signature, as he looks for a team that values his talent and rewards his performance appropriately. If Pirates fail to offer a satisfactory deal, fans could see the dynamic winger making headlines in new colours next season.
