Seeing key players leave is never easy, but for Orlando Pirates the potential financial upside is potentially massive.

If they do, that would significantly increase Pirates’ options in the transfer market.
We all want to see South African stars shine abroad and two Buccaneers might be on the verge of their own European breakthroughs. Selling both Monnapule Saleng and Relebohile Mofokeng in the same window would sting, but the financial upside is potentially huge. Just imagine how many players the Buccaneers could sign with those funds and the improvements they could also make to their academy infrastructure.
Monnapule Saleng’s 15 goals and 11 assists from 30 appearances last term was a ludicrous output for a winger, and it’s unlikely to be matched in the foreseeable future, but Jose Riveiro’s side needs to look at the bigger picture here. It seems inevitable that Saleng will make a move to Europe at some stage in his career. Pirates could do worse than facilitating that sooner rather than later, so as to maximize the revenue they recoup for him.
