“There have been negotiations with Pirates for a possible move for Mogaila,” says the winger’s agent about Pirates and AmaZulu.
“I can say that we are still talking and to see if there can be something that comes out from the negotiations.
“It is the same with AmaZulu; they are one of the teams that have also been asking about his services.”

Baloyi says he can only advise his client and confirms Usuthu are the side that have been making enquiries about the winger.
The ex-Royal winger’s handler adds that they will see which DStv Premiership side tables a good offer between Pirates and AmaZulu.
“They like him, and they believe that he can blend in perfectly in their squad,” adds the ex-Royal winger’s agent.
“At the end of the day, it’s all about the player and what he believes is perfect for him.
“As an agent, one can only advise here and there to try to get a good deal for the player.
“Let’s just hope that something good will come out from these negotiations.”
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old ex-TS Galaxy star has 16 appearances for John Maduka’s Royal AM this term while providing two assists.
