PSL transfer news: The ‘Big 3' compete for DREAM SIGNING
PSL giants Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs all want uSuthu star Tshepang Moremi – but only one can have him. According to Soccer Laduma, the Buccaneers are in pole position to sign the dynamic winger, a player who has already proven himself in top-flight football, and his age (24) suggests he's nowhere near his ceiling. 'As I've said, it will all depends on all the talks and negotiations, but it could involve money and player exchange as well,' an inside source revelaed. 'The value of the player and what AmaZulu want from Pirates could also determine the whole deal at the day.' There are a few candidates linked with the Orlando Pirates job, namely Pitso Mosimane, Pablo Franco Martin, and Rulani Mokwena. The latter has piqued club legend Lucky Lekgwathi's attention, but he has concerns. 'Look I don't have a problem with the coach as long as the coach can come and take this team to another level.' 'Look at [Mamelodi] Sundowns. Rulani left, and they got a new coach. That coach has now won the league, and the coach is in the final of the Champions League,' he added. 'We played the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, so next season we need someone who is going to take us to the final and challenge for the league as you know now our problem is in the league where we are not consistent.' 'No matter who is coming, we as supporters, we just need to make sure we support him. When Jose came people called him a plumber and h'e surprised everyone. We supported the plumber and look where the plumber is today. 'He's one of the best coaches to have coached Pirates. That's why I'm saying whoever is coming to coach Orlando Pirates, even if he's a plumber, let's support that plumber or carpenter.'

Orlando Pirates news: Saleng, Mofokeng, Moremi, Martin
Orlando Pirates have an eventful few months before the 2025/26 campaign ignites. The upcoming offseason window could make the difference in achieving league and Champions League glory; it's a time when not only are they on the hunt for stars, but they're also looking for Jose Riveiro's successor. The latter will be hard to replace, someone who revolutionised the club through his youthful approach, winning five trophies in three years. However, it shouldn't insinuate that finding a suitable candidate can't be done. Former AmaZulu FC coach Pablo Franco Martin is the latest name to be linked with the Orlando Pirates. 'There have been talks between Pablo Franco Martin and Orlando Pirates,' an inside source revealed. 'An offer has been made but he is not the only coach the club is looking at and there are other candidates. He is very interested in the Pirates job, and he has since parted ways with the club he was coaching in Saudi Arabia despite being made an offer to increase his salary to renew his contract.' Tshepang Moremi is one of the most sought after players in the league. The uSuthu star has Mamelodi Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs and Pirates vying for his services. Meanwhile, youngster Relebohile Mofokeng has several foreign suitors trying to lure him – offers are expected throughout the winter window. Egyptian giants Zamelek FC had a R25.8 million bid rejected earlier this year. Forgotten winger Monnapule Saleng appears to be nearing an exit following a near six-month hiatus, however, no clubs are yet to show interest. Orlando Pirates seem to have given up on the Bloemhof-born star Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.
