Now according to The Citizen the teenager has caught the attention of some European scouts. 

Interest from abroad for Pirates youngster Ratomo?

“The future looks bright for Ratomo, he has really done well up to so far, The Spain tour was a perfect opportunity for him to sell himself to the world. I think he has done that and that is why teams are chasing him. I know Maccabi people were very impressed with him, and they were inquiring a lot about him. To be honest, I’m not really surprised with all of this. He has shown that he is capable of doing great things. Something might just happen before the start of the season, but I don’t think the Pirates management are ready to see him leave the club. I know that they want what’s best for him and every other player … we will see what transpires.” Said the source to the same publication.

Ratomo only broke into the Pirates first team squad towards the end of last season, and the 2023/24 campaign is expected to be the first full one of his at senior level. It remains to be seen if the Buccaneers would allow the player to go should they get the right offer from abroad.
