Orlando Pirates ‘favourite’ wanted by several PSL rivals

Orlando Pirates ‘favourite’ wanted by several PSL rivals

Orlando Pirates might cash in on offers for a fan favourite who isn’t playing much football under Jose Riveiro.


Orlando Pirates to sell Otladisa

At 28 years old, former Marumo Gallants attacking midfielder Katlego Otladisa stands at a career crossroads. Since his move to Pirates in July 2023, he’s only made 12 appearances for the Sea Robbers. In those outings, he’s failed to register a single goal or assist.

“There have been some inquiries for Otladisa and Gallants are not the only ones after him, Polokwane City want him too,” a source close to the player told Phakaaati.

“He can add value elsewhere because he’s not playing as a result of other players in his position doing well. At the moment, nothing has been agreed on but he’s likely going to move when the window opens,” he added in the same publication.


Otladisa is in the news and wanted around the country

According to SoccerLaduma, Sekhukhune United and Polokwane want to hand Katlego Otladisa a lifeline at the top level. The former Marumo Gallants star has found things tough with the Sea Robbers, hardly featuring in match-day squads. A loan move away in January is a strong possibility. Even former club Gallants are interested. With Relebohile Mofokeng, Mohau Nkota, Monnapule Saleng and Gilberto ahead of 28-year-old Otladisa in the pecking order for wide attacking berths, the player himself is keen to engineer a move away.


Next four tests for the high-flying Buccaneers

Meanwhile, Riveiro’s men have two league encounters to prepare for in the next five weeks and they’ve also got two tasty Caf Champions League clashes on the horizon. The visit of African champions Al Ahly on 06 December is one to get in the diary. There’s also the prospect of a meeting with Bafana and former Cape Town City striker Khanyisa Mayo when Pirates go North to face Belouizdad of Algeria. Pirates beat Richards Bay in their most recent league encounter to preserve their perfect record in the league. They’ve won all seven matches.
