PIRATES SET TO TABLE OFFER FOR CHIEFS TARGET
Chiefs have been linked with Mbuthuma for several weeks.
Meaning, he is one of Amakhosi’s striker targets for next season.
However, Soweto rivals, Pirates also want to recruit the Richards Bay attacker. Interestingly, the Bucs are poised to make an offer for Mbuthuma
“There are several players that the club is looking at for next season but the first priority is the striking department and it’s believed that they have identified Richards Bay United’s Yanela Mbuthuma and the club is set to table an offer for him,” the insider stated on SoccerLaduma.
Moreover, the Bucs are set to overcome Amakhosi in the race for his signature.
“At the moment I am not sure of how much they are offering but they are willing to sign him and that’s why they are tabling that offer. But you know Chiefs are also apparently interested in the same player and that’s why Pirates are ready to table the offer and have an advantage over their rivals,” he added.
Meanwhile, he won’t come cheap to prospective clubs. This is because his current reported transfer market value is around R12 million (R11.6 million), according to Transfermarkt.
