Orlando Pirates will be offloading (releasing) some players and replacing them at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, several Bucs stars are linked with exits.
PIRATES PLANNING TO LOAN GOALKEEPER OUT
Pirates are planning to loan out young goalkeeper, Siyabonga Dladla.
“For now, the competition is tough for him and they don’t want to destroy his confidence as he is still young, and that’s why they want to loan him,” the insider reported on KickOff.
So, a move out of Naturena is in the best interest of both parties. They want him to play more regularly so that he can gain some much-needed experience to develop as a player.
“Sipho Chaine is the first choice obviously, with Melusi Buthelezi his back-up, and it is believed it will take time before he could play. So, to give him a chance of game-time and for him to grow, the club is considering a loan for next season,” he added.
Meanwhile, their are several clubs interested in loaning the Pirates keeper.
“What I know is that there are clubs – one in the PSL and two in the First Division – which have shown interest in signing him on loan. I know it’s still early to mention the teams, but something will happen at the start of next season,” added the source.
BYE BYE BUCS?

Meanwhile, Patrick Maswanganyi is heavily linked with a move to Europe. Therefore, a total of six Bucs players are linked with moves out of the club.
