Monnapule Saleng is one of Orlando Pirates’ most prized assets. It seems like a matter of when rather than if they’ll sell the Bafana Bafana wide man. SoccerLaduma sources indicate that Monaco and an unnamed Belgian side are ramping up efforts to sign the 25-year-old. Those sources indicate the Buccaneers might consider a sale in the upcoming January window to avoid losing the player on a free transfer when his deal expires in June 2024.
“Yes, the move could happen in January. There are two teams interested in him now and the one in Belgium looks more serious than the one in France but they have both shown interest mainly for a move in France,” the SoccerLaduma source said.
