Nevertheless, that got here to an abrupt finish when he was frozen out of the aspect. His final look for the membership was in December 2024 towards Al Ahly in a Champions League group match. Nevertheless, the mercurial winger is reportedly again in coaching after a protracted standoff and exile. He didn’t journey to Algeria for Pirates’ 1-0 win at MC Alger.
“Regardless that the coach (Jose Riveiro) was excited to have his star participant again, he didn’t really feel that he was prepared for this journey to Algeria. I’m positive you’ll see him within the coming video games, however he’s not going to play towards MC Alger on Tuesday,” a membership insider advised The Citizen.
Is Sundowns an choice for Saleng?
Pirates’ bargaining place is considerably weakened due to the participant’s reluctance to remain, however that doesn’t imply they will’t get a very good sum for the 26-year-old. The file departure in Pirates historical past was €2.3 million (R44 million) when Mbulelo ‘Oldjohn’ Mabizela moved to Tottenham in 2003-2004. It’s unlikely the Sea Robbers can fetch a quantity in that area. There’s no motive why the 2022-2023 PSL Participant of the 12 months shouldn’t command an honest price. They need to be trying to get better no less than half (R22 million), particularly if they will convey Sundowns to the market. The principle query there’s: do they wish to strengthen a rival?
