2 European Clubs Reportedly Interested in Signing Orlando Pirates Star

• Two European clubs are reportedly showing interest in signing an Orlando Pirates star due to his performance so far in the 2024-25 season
• The Buccaneers are hoping to fend off the interest from these two European sides in their player as they continue their quest on winning the Betway Premiership this season
• None of the two European sides have submitted bids for the South African playmaker, but have sent scouts to South Africa to monitor the player's progress

Orlando Pirates could lose one of the star players as two European clubs are reportedly interested in the South African playmaker.

The Buccaneers are having a fantastic 2024-25 season in the Premier Soccer League. They currently top the Betway Premiership table and won the MTN8 cup in October.

Jose Riveiro is gunning to win his first league title with the Soweto giants, but that dream might be jeopardised if they lose one of their most important players in the January transfer window.

Two Europe clubs want Orlando Pirates star

According to a report by the South African, European sides Monaco and Standard Liege are hoping to clinch the signing of Monnapule Saleng from Pirates.

The South African playmaker has been in top form this season for the Bucs and has improved since joining the Soweto Giants from Free State Stars in 2021.

In 69 appearances so far for the Buccaneers, Saleng has scored 27 goals and provided 19 assists, which shows how important he has been to the Sea Robbers over the past three seasons.

Saleng's performance in the PSL hasn't gone unnoticed, as several European sides are monitoring his progress at the club.

For the Pirates star's signature, French Ligue 1 side Monaco will face stiff competition from Belgian side Standard Liege, who are also interested in newly promoted first-team player Mohau Nkota.
