Pitso Mosimane has confirmed that his 15-year-old last-born son, Reatlegile “Rea” Mosimane, has secured a trial with a Spanish LaLiga club.
The former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly coach shared the update on Robert Marawa’s Marawa Sports Worldwide (MSW). He revealed that the Kaizer Chiefs youth player had earned the opportunity shortly before suffering an injury setback.
Mosimane said the teenager was sidelined for nearly two months. Despite that, European scouts remained interested in him.

“A week before he got injured, he got a trial in Spain,” Mosimane said.
“I won’t reveal the club now because I don’t want to put it in the spotlight. But it’s a good, strong team in LaLiga.”
Mosimane also urged supporters not to jump to conclusions about the identity of the club.
“It’s a good youth programme. Maybe not Barcelona or Real Madrid. Maybe everybody must calm down,” he said.
“But it’s a proper team in terms of youth development. One of the best youth development programmes.”
Kaizer Chiefs youngster linked with AS Roma before
This is not the first time Rea has been linked with overseas opportunities. Reports published in 2025 claimed AS Roma scouts had monitored the Kaizer Chiefs youth player during trials in Italy.
At the time, football agent Jorge Abong told Soccer Laduma that the Italian club had shown strong interest after assessing the teenager.
“Ikenna Tladi has officially signed for AS Roma. We have also organised trials for Rea Mosimane,” Abong said.
“Last month he did well and the club is interested in signing him.”
Rea has reportedly established himself as one of the standout performers in Chiefs’ development structures over the past few seasons.

Pitso Mosimane dismisses favouritism claims
Mosimane also addressed speculation that his football status may have influenced the opportunity.
“People will say, ‘Ah maybe the dad made a call’. No, I didn’t make a call,” he explained.
“There are a lot of people who scout. The games are on the app and some are live, so they watch many matches.”
He added:
“You don’t make decisions on highlights because no agent sends bad highlights.”
