Orlando Pirates goalkeeper who his contract expires in June has attracted an interest from Psl rival. The veteran goalkeeper could join the club ahead of upcoming season.
The buccaneers will be making adjustments as they get ready for the upcoming season, they are rumored to be releasing some few players. This includes the veteran goalkeeper.
Orlando Pirates currently have four goalkeepers on the team, plus one on loan to a Motsepe Foundation Championship team. The individuals are Sipho Chaine, Richard Ofori, Melusi Buthelezi, Siyabonga Mpontshane, and Siphamandla Gumede, who is on loan.
It is anticipated that several more players will emerge from the escape door in the upcoming window as the buccaneers release the players. Souaibou Marou, Sandile Mthethwa, and Zakhele Lepasa are a few of the people tipped to go.
Goalie Richard Ofori is another person whose name may appear on the list shortly. Siyabonga Mpontshane is anticipated to join the Ghanaian international in the event that he leaves the team.
It was said last week that Mpontshane might even choose to retire and continue to work with the Pirates in a non-playing capacity. Soccer-Laduma now claims that Polokwane City is keeping an eye on the player.
“Should Orlando Pirates decide against keeping goalkeeper Siyabonga Mpontshane at the end of the season, Polokwane City are understood to be hot favourites to snap up the veteran when his contract is up. It’s further believed that City, who were promoted back to the topflight this season, are monitoring the situation and would consider taking on the experienced goalie on a free transfer, should he be made available.” Wrote the publication.
