Ex Mamelodi Sundowns Star Urges Relebohile Mofokeng to Leave Orlando Pirates for European Side

Former Mamelodi Sundowns player Lebohang Mokoena has encouraged Relebohile Mofokeng to take advantage of a potential move to AS Monaco.

The remarks follow a report by iDiski Times indicating that the Ligue 1 side has tabled a strong bid to Orlando Pirates for the promising attacker.

Speaking on the Soccerbeat, Mokoena suggested that a switch to France would be an ideal stepping stone for Mofokeng’s ambitions abroad, describing Ligue 1 as a suitable environment to kickstart an international career.

He noted that the youngster has attracted interest over the past two seasons, with some opportunities previously turning down, but believes this particular offer is one worth embracing.

“If I were in his position, I wouldn’t hesitate—I’d grab this chance and head to France at the end of the season,” Mokoena said.

However, he also pointed out areas for improvement, referencing Mofokeng’s showing against Panama national football team. According to Mokoena, the player needs to build more physical strength, especially if he is to thrive in a demanding number 10 role.

He added that the physical nature of French football, where defenders are typically tall and robust, will require Mofokeng to adapt quickly.

Still, Mokoena is confident the transition would benefit him, highlighting Monaco’s attractive style of play and their reliance on youthful talent as factors that would help the young midfielder settle in and succeed.
