Relebohile Mofokeng: Union SG eye €3m-rated Orlando Pirates winger in Belgian move rumour

South African left winger Relebohile Mofokeng is being linked with a move from Orlando Pirates to Belgian Jupiler Pro League side Union SG, with the 21-year-old’s future under scrutiny amid uncertainty over his contract situation in Johannesburg.

Data from Transfermarkt lists Mofokeng, who was born in Sharpeville, Gauteng on 23 October 2004, as having no recorded contract expiry date at Pirates, fuelling speculation that he could move on in the near future, potentially even as a free agent if his deal is close to, or has already, run its course. The reported probability of the transfer is currently marked only as “?”, underlining that talks, if any, remain at an early and unconfirmed stage.

Mofokeng, a right-footed attacker who operates primarily as an attacking left winger, has a stated market value of €3.00m. That figure is likely to underpin any negotiations should Union SG look to turn interest into a formal approach, with the Belgian club continuing to scour emerging markets for young, resale‑able talent.

Standing at 1.68m and wearing the No 38 shirt for Orlando Pirates, Mofokeng has built his reputation in South Africa’s top flight with his direct dribbling and ability to attack from the flank. He is currently listed with South Africa as his sole nationality and is part of the Pirates set-up that has regularly challenged domestically in recent seasons.

Specific recent match data from the current campaign – including opposition, dates, scorelines and Mofokeng’s individual contributions – is not detailed in the available figures, but his profile and valuation suggest he has done enough to attract attention beyond the Premier Soccer League.

With Union SG established as a stepping-stone club for young players in the Jupiler Pro League, a move, if completed, could provide Mofokeng with a significant platform in European football and a chance to elevate both his reputation and long-term career trajectory.
