The 26-year-old South African winger Monnapule Saleng, who has scored 2 goals in 2 matches this season, could be on his way out of Orlando Pirates.
Orlando Pirates, set to face Algerian champions Belouizdad in the CAF Champions League on Saturday, have been on the rise recently, adding a trophy to their cabinet and sitting at the top of the league table.
While these successes have delighted the fans, the players’ high performances have begun to attract the attention of other clubs. Rumors suggest that Monnapule Saleng has suitors from Europe. Belgian Jupiter Pro League side Standard Liege and several French Ligue 1 clubs, including Monaco SC, are reportedly interested in the star player.
An anonymous source in Soccer Laduma made the following statements:
“It’s not like the interest died off. It is just that last season he was not playing much, so it was hard for the teams interested in him to monitor his progress, but they were checking what was going on. Now, since he is back in the thick of things, the interest has arisen again.”
“It’s Standard Liege that has shown interest. Actually, last season, they were also interested in Mohau Nkota while Monaco SC were interested in Saleng. So, now it is believed that the Standard Liege scouts are looking at Saleng since Nkota has not been playing much since his promotion.”
