Orlando Pirates have confirmed an agreement with Royale Union Saint-Gilloise for the transfer of Relebohile Mofokeng.
The Soweto club says the two sides have finalised the transfer fee and structure of the deal. The move is still subject to a medical and the completion of personal terms with the Belgian Pro League side.
Pirates said an agreement in principle was reached before the FIFA World Cup. Both clubs agreed to delay any announcement until after the tournament.
The decision was taken to allow Mofokeng to focus fully on his role with Bafana Bafana. It also ensured the national team’s World Cup campaign remained the focus.
The club said no further comment will be made until the transfer process is concluded.
Mofokeng progressed through the Orlando Pirates development structures after joining the club’s youth setup in 2021. He was later promoted to the senior squad in 2023.
He is a graduate of the Transnet School of Excellence and made his professional debut in May 2023.
Since breaking into the first team, he has gone on to establish himself as a key player. He has made more than 125 appearances for the Buccaneers, scoring 29 goals and providing 31 assists.
He has also been part of a successful Pirates squad, winning the Betway Premiership title, three MTN8 trophies and two Nedbank Cups.
At international level, Mofokeng is a senior Bafana Bafana player. He also represented South Africa at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
