Orlando Pirates: to unveil these FIVE new signings?
Orlando Pirates have been very busy with player recruitments before the transfer window even opens. Orlando Pirates have reportedly already signed FIVE players. Let's take a look at all the players the Bucs are set to unveil in coming weeks. Tshepo Mashiloane, Kabelo Kgositsile, Sihle Nduli, Nkosikhona Ndaba and Sinoxolo Kwayiba are all set to be unveiled by Pirates ahead of the 2025/26 PSL season. So, Pirates recently completed the deal for Baroka FC right back, Mashiloane. 'We still got to pay Mashiloane until the end of June, but Orlando Pirates have purchased Mashiloane for the coming season, not this season. But if Pirates want Mashiloane earlier there's no problem we've got an agreement with Pirates,' Khurishi Mphahlele told IDiskiTimes . 'We can always make provision for that, but we are going to pay Mashiloane at the end of June because his contract ends at the end of June and the Pirates contract begins on the first of July. From the first of July he is an Orlando Pirates player, until then he's still our player and we pay him,' Meaning he is set to become the FIFTH new Bucs star. Furthermore, he will join Bafana Bafana attacker Kwayiba, midfielder Nduli, Kgositsile and Ndaba as the newest Pirates players. Meanwhile, the Bucs are closing in on yet another player.

BREAKING: Star defender joins Orlando Pirates!
Orlando Pirates have reportedly secured the services of Baroka FC defender Tshepho Mashiloane. The 23-year-old is expected to make the switch at the beginning of July. 'We still got to pay Mashiloane until the end of June, but Orlando Pirates have purchased Mashiloane for the coming season, not this season,' Baroka's chairman Khurishi Mphahlele informed iDiski Times . 'But if Pirates want Mashiloane earlier there's no problem we've got an agreement with Pirates. We can always make provision for that, but we are going to pay Mashiloane at the end of June because his contract ends at the end of June and the Pirates contract begins on the first of July. 'From the first of July he is an Orlando Pirates player, until then he's still our player and we pay him.' Mashiloane is just one of many names expected to arrive in the offseason after the Buccaneers failed to sign a single player during the January transfer market. According to reports, Orlando Pirates have reignited their interest in Cape Town City youngster Jaedin Rhodes. 'One of those reinforcements could be a long-time target, Jaedin Rhodes. Although the 22-year-old has endured an underwhelming season with Cape Town City, he remains a high priority on the Buccaneers' list,' a source said. 'The club [Orlando Pirates] has been met with resistance by City in previous attempts to lure Rhodes to Gauteng, but according to sources, will try once more in the upcoming window. Complicating matters will be the Citizens' peculiar situation.' Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Orlando Pirates face captaincy saga amid several signings!
Following Innocent Maela's exit, Orlando Pirates offseason just got trickier as they now face the burden of juggling crucial internal and external situations. According to reports, defender Nkosinathi Sibisi is being highly-linked with taking over the armband duties, but, like announcing their new coach, only time will tell as to who will don the new role. Orlando Pirates have wasted no time this offseason window, an action perhaps ignited on the back of their dismal January transfer window, which saw them come up empty handed while Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs welcomed several players. Sihle Nduli, Sinoxolo Kwayiba, and Baroka FC defender Tshepho Moshiloane have reportedly already put pen to paper with the Sowetan outfit. 'We still got to pay Mashiloane until the end of June, but Orlando Pirates have purchased Mashiloane for the coming season, not this season,' Baroka' FC's chairman Khurishi Mphahlele informed iDiski Times . 'But if Pirates want Mashiloane earlier there's no problem we've got an agreement with Pirates.

Chiefs eye star winger, while Pirates announce new arrival!
Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates continue to engage in positive talks with both clubs linked to several star players, including in-form striker Fiston Mayele – however, that seems a bit of reach. A player who is believed to be attainable is Kaizer Chiefs' target, Maxi Mpia Nzengel. The Young Africans midfielder, like Fiesal Salum, is reportedly keen on a move to Soweto. 'So, he wants to come to Chiefs, because he is not keen on renewing with Yanga,' a source said. 'Also, he is said to be in advanced talks with them [Kaizer Chiefs].' Meanwhile, Baroka FC chairman Khurishi Mphahlele has confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Orlando Pirates for star defender Tshepho Moshiloane, who will arrive on July 1. 'We still got to pay Mashiloane until the end of June, but Orlando Pirates have purchased Mashiloane for the coming season, not this season,' Baroka' FC's chairman Khurishi Mphahlele told iDiski Times . 'But if Pirates want Mashiloane earlier there's no problem we've got an agreement with Pirates. We can always make provision for that, but we are going to pay Mashiloane at the end of June because his contract ends at the end of June and the Pirates contract begins on the first of July. 'From the first of July he is an Orlando Pirates player, until then he's still our player and we pay him.' An emerging theme in the offseason market is that Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates have the same tasted, highlighted most recently by their shared interest in SuperSport youngster 'Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are both keen to sign SuperSport United left-back Neo Rapoo ahead of the new season,' an inside source revealed. 'His performances as he led South Africa U20 to the Africa Cup of Nations title earned him interest in Scandinavia and the Gulf but sources as Matsatsansa have confirmed Chiefs and Pirates are both seriously after the player who is seen as future senior national team left-back.' 'With Orlando Pirates having released Paseka Mako and the retirement of Innocent Maela, their interest on the promising full-back comes as no surprise, while Chiefs are looking to remedy a position that has plagued them in the last couple of seasons.'

Pirates to announce new captain, while chasing Mother City star
Orlando Pirates have arguably the most testing offseason in the PSL. Not only do the Soweto giants have the complex task of picking Jose Riveiro's successor, a manager with whom they shared three transformative years with, but they're also simultaneously trying to lure top talent that will ensure they don't fall further behind from Mamelodi Sundowns. Fighting for the title is a must for Orlando Pirates, and that requires a ferocious, calm and tactical captain – another current void in their system having released Innocent Maela. Star defender Nkosinathi Sibisi is one of the favourites to take over the reigns. The Buccaneers have restored their interest in January target Jaedin Rhodes, a player Orlando Pirates have long admired. 'One of those reinforcements could be a long-time target, Jaedin Rhodes. Although the 22-year-old has endured an underwhelming season with Cape Town City, he remains a high priority on the Buccaneers' list,' a source said. 'The club [Orlando Pirates] has been met with resistance by City in previous attempts to lure Rhodes to Gauteng, but according to sources, will try once more in the upcoming window.
