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.
Mofokeng is tipped for an overseas move
Briefly News also reported that Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng has been tipped for a move overseas.
The 20-year-old has been backed to switch Pirates for a European team alongside other promising youngsters in the PSL.
