Al Ahly show interest in Mofokeng
According to a report by Afrik-Foot, as per Al-Jumhuriya, Al Ahly is set to rival Barcelona in the race to sign Mofokeng as the Bafana Bafana star has emerged as one of their transfer targets.
The Red Devils have had Percy Tau on their books since 2021, and he has won 12 trophies, but he's currently having issues with his manager, Marcel Koller.
Reports suggest that the North African giants have placed Mofokeng on their list of players to sign in the January transfer window, but they have yet to submit a bid or make their intentions known to the Soweto team.
The Sea Robbers faced Al Ahly this season in a CAF Champions League group game, which ended in a goalless draw. Koller is said to be impressed with the youngsters' performances in this campaign.

The Swiss manager has not yet given his green light to make an offer for Mofokeng as he wants to watch him closely when the Egyptian giants host the PSL side in the second leg of their CAFCL group stage tie.
If the South African international's performance convinces the former FC Basel mentor, then they can make an offer to Orlando Pirates.
Mofokeng is seen as a possible replacement for Tau, who is reportedly set to join another team in the winter transfer window.
