Orlando Pirates have identified these FOUR transfer targets.

FULL LIST OF PIRATES PLAYERS LINKED WITH EXITS
- Innocent Maela
- Karim Kimvuidi
- Zakhele Lepasa
- Patrick Maswangayi
- Monnapule Saleng
- Relebohile Mofokeng
Pirates are set to let go of one of their biggest stars with Bucs management planning to offer captain Innocent Maela a non-playing role when his contract expires in June.
Meaning, Jose Riveiro could be selecting a new Pirates captain soon.
“For now it seems the main focus is not on his playing contract but what the team could offer him outside the field of play. They don’t want to see what happened to Happy Jele where the team wanted him to stay outside the playing side. Whether it’s in management, media or even in coaching the juniors, but that is what the team is working on together with the player himself (to discuss the future),” the report read on SoccerLaduma.
Meanwhile, midfielder Kamvuidi faces a likely departure, as reported on The South African.
Furthermore, Lepasa is set to be offered to PSL rivals, Polokwane City. This is because the Bucs want to sweeten their proposed deal for defender, Thabang Matuludi.
FORM FUELS INTEREST IN BUCS STARS
Maswanganyi, Saleng, Mofokeng have everyone in the PSL talking. Moreover, they have even sparked interest abroad.
Portegues outfit Oliveirense are determined to sign Bucs attacker, Maswangayi.
“Orlando Pirates midfielder Patrick Maswanganyi has emerged as a target for his former club UD Oliveirense who are reportedly weighing up the possibility of signing him,” Afrik-foot reported.
Meanwhile, fans are calling for Saleng to join Chiefs. This comes after
Whilst, Wydad SC have tabled an offer for Mofokeng. Meanwhile, he was also linked with Al Ahly although neither Al Ahly nor his agent confirmed these links. So, it was probably heresy (a rumour). Mofokeng also trialled for Wolves and has been linked with Spanish-giants, Barcelona.
