Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs chase Angolan superstar!
Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly in the race for Angolan forward Laurindo Depu Aurelio, who is on the books of Portugal's Gil Vicente but spent the season with Serbian giants FK Vojvodina Novi Sad.
The 25-year-old has amassed three international caps (netting twice), and is currently valued at around R5 million, according to Transfermarkt.com.
'What I can tell you is that both teams had their scouts there. The scouts were all happy with what they saw in Depu and they enquired about him,' a source confirmed.
'Apparently Kaizer Chiefs wanted their defender Inacio Miguel to help them talk to the player and his representatives. And Orlando Pirates also believed to be willing to talk to the player. They have their different reasons but apparently the scouts from both clubs are happy with what they saw.'
A second source reaffirmed the links, saying, 'Apparently Chiefs don't want to dwell much on Feisal Salum if the price is still that high and will now consider Depu.'
'But the problem is Depu is now based in Portugal and it could also be another challenge. However it's believed that they want to use Inacio Miguel to bring Depu to Naturena. So let's wait and see.'
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates are said to be closing in on Zimbabwean sensation Prince Ndlovu:
'Highlanders FC value Prince (Ndlovu) and that's why they are pricing him at around R15million,' a source revealed.
'For now this price is believed to be directed at South African team Orlando Pirates because apparently they are the ones who have enquired about his services. Highlanders believe it's a fair price looking at his talent, quality and future ahead of him.'

Sipho Mbule to Kaizer Chiefs still a possibility? Here's the latest...
Kaizer Chiefs could still be in with a chance to sign free agent Sipho Mbule ahead of the new season. Mbule was released by Mamelodi Sundowns alongside Rivaldo Coetzee as soon as the previous campaign ended. And several media houses have consistently linked the troubled midfielder with a possible move to Chiefs. However, while Mbule was offered to Chiefs by his agent Mike Makaab, the Soweto giants have had to make up their minds. Now, according to UnplayableZA, Chiefs are threading carefully in their consideration for Mbule. Nonetheless, Mbule to Chiefs remains a possibility with the publication's source claiming ' it's still possible '. Mbule spent the better part of last season on loan at Sekhukhune United but his stint was cut short due to ill-discipline. Sipho Mbule training with Mamelodi Sundowns at the Chloorkop base.

Dutch giants monitoring Bafana Bafana forward!
Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven are reportedly monitoring Bafana Bafana striker Iqraam Rayners, who played a pivotal role in the Pretoria outfits league winning season. 'Yes, there has been interest in him from Holland. It's a top club. It's believed that PSV Eindhoven are the club interested in him but at the moment things are with the office and there is nothing much we can say,' a source revealed. 'But yes, they are believed to have their scouts at the Club World Cup in the United States. So most of the information will be known once the team comes back from there. But apparently, the interest is high and strong.' Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams embracing Relebohile Mofokeng after his debut. Image: Backpagepix Meanwhile, Relebohile Mofokeng is another Bafana Bafana star being linked with a move to Europe, speculation further fuelled by his father, who believes now is the time for his son to flock South Africa. 'My biggest wish is to see Rele overseas in 2025/2026. I'm praying every day. I don't want to see him in the Betway Premiership again this season. I know God will answer my prayers,' Sechaba said. [Whether it's in] Spain, England, Netherlands, France, Denmark, Switzerland — Rele can play. I believe that with all my heart. Take him to Barcelona? He can play. PSG? He can play. Any country. I'll be happy — but not Saudi Arabia.' 'Not yet. He's still young. He needs to compete in UEFA competitions. If he goes to Saudi now, he won't experience that. Yes, he'd be rich — but happiness is more important. You can have all the money in the world, but if you're not happy, it's worthless.'
