Moroccan club Wydad Athletic are reportedly in advanced discussions with Orlando Pirates over the potential transfer of Relebohile Mofokeng, a 20-year-old South African forward.
According to Moroccan outlet Lesiteinfo, Wydad have tabled an attractive financial offer, and Pirates are said to be seriously considering the proposal.
Mofokeng, who is regarded as one of South Africa’s most promising young talents, is reportedly open to joining Wydad, where he would work under the guidance of his compatriot, Rulani Mokwena. Despite the appeal of the offer, the timing of a potential move raises doubts.
The winger has become an integral part of Orlando Pirates’ squad, which is currently battling for three major trophies: the Betway Premiership, the CAF Champions League, and the Nedbank Cup.
Mofokeng’s performances have been crucial to the team’s success this season, and losing him could significantly derail their campaign.
While Wydad’s interest highlights Mofokeng’s growing reputation, his departure appears unlikely at this juncture.
Pirates are keen to retain their star player as they navigate a critical phase in their season.
