Fans tell Mofokeng to ignore African interest

Local football fans reacted on social media to say Mofokeng must ignore interest from African clubs and should wait for offers from European clubs.

Benjy Ntsako does not believe the rumour:

"African teams are just wasting their time on Mofokeng; the only boy's destination is Europe, not these local small Arab teams from the North. Mofokeng is already too big to play in Africa."

Shepherd Sherz says Mofokeng will not move to Africa:

"Rele Mofokeng is going nowhere. He stays at Pirates until top European clubs are interested in signing him. No African team will sign him."

Arnold Chinyasa asked a question:

"What about Barcelona?"

Ezile Similo says Wydad has no chance:

"They're dreaming."
