ORLANDO PIRATES KEEN TO SIGN MOGAILA FOR FREE
Versatile Royal AM wide player Shaune Mogaila is now available on a free transfer, and he’s been a target for the Buccaneers for some time. According to FARPost, Pirates aren’t the only side showing an interest. Mogaila can operate on either flank of attack or defence, making him a priceless option. Although not a direct replacement, he’d be a great squad player.
Now, according to The Citizen, they could lose out on the player to Norwegian side Vålerenga.

Vålerenga to hijack Mogaila deal?
“Those guys are keen on signing him. I mean, they are very serious about him because this thing all started last year during pre-season. They spoke with Mogaila’s agent, but nothing came out. I think it was because Royal AM was also trying to renew his contract. But, they didn’t know that Mogaila was already being pursued by Vålerenga.” said the source.
“It is a great opportunity for him (Mogaila) to play overseas, plus Norway is not a bad league. I think if he gets a good deal he will definitely go, he doesn’t have anything to lose. I know that Pirates and AmaZulu are also interested in him, but the best move for him would be to go overseas because he is already 28 years old. Not many players get such an opportunity (to play overseas) at that age. So, he is very lucky.” Concluded the source.
