Football lovers in Mzansi are divided about the teenager’s possible exit to Europe in the forthcoming transfer season.Glasgow Rangers, Salzburg & Al Ahly are some of the teams reportedly chasing the services of Orlando Pirates hot-shot Relebohile Mofokeng who has caused a stir in South Africa.Early this season, the attacker went to England where he tried with Wolverhampton Wanderers who were attracted by the youngster’s exploits.However, fans in the country are divided on the issue; while a section believes it is the right time for Mofokeng to take his chances, others feel he should play in the Premier Soccer League for one more season.Have a look at what GOAL readers think.Salzburg great for MofokengSalzburg is great for Mofokeng. Remember Salzburg believes in young players, they are like Borussia Dortmund and he’ll get game time there – Flex MaxyBoy still needs guidance from parentsThe boy is still young, he still needs guidance from his parents; moving from Africa to Europe we really mess up his football ideas. Let him remain in South Africa for one or two more seasons so we can now then say he is already to leave South Africa – Dmf Wa LefatsheSame thing happened to Saleng; overhyped & misledPlease leave the young boy alone and stop filling his head with distractions. The same thing happened to Monnapule Saleng. Overhyped and misled archived nothing. The potential is big in the players but they are overhyped by the media to compensate for the failures of the Soweto teams. The same thing is happening at Chiefs – Chris PhukubjeCan still rebuild even if he failsMofokeng is too young to go overseas, that is nonsense. There is one good thing about this situation. The boy is very young even if he fails overseas. He still has a chance to rebuild his career – Nkosenhle ShombelaMofokeng is intelligent, he will go placesThe boy has football intelligence, if a good offer presents itself let him go I trust this young man as long as he can get a good mentor he’s actually going places – Themba Maswanganyi
The kid is sublime
People are saying he still needs guidance at his beloved club Orlando Pirates yet our fellow African brothers as soon as they get a possible move they take it with both hands regardless of age. Mofokeng will get guidance at whatever club he goes to. The kid is sublime – Junior GquntaMove abroad is great in terms of money as wellYes, he is still young, I agree. However, a move to a European-based club will be great for him including the money . Especially a move to a Club that believes in playing Young Stars like him. Even if that club is second tier, he will be noticed by other bigger clubs and it will be awesome for him. The average age of players here in SA is 25 to 30, so If anything goes wrong, he can recover because age is still on his side. That’s my view on this matter! – Kgotso Thoane-MolefeMailula struggles are not Mofokeng’s!Everyone should write their own story. What’s happening with Cassius Mailula has zero bearing on the future of Rele. Look at players from other African countries they move overseas as teenagers and go on to be superstars – Koena OlifantHe can play for Man CityThis one is very good he must go and play there outside Africa, he can play for Manchester City – Dee Mukhuwa DamasGive Bucs another seasonRemain at Pirates for another season just for his game to mature and grow. Moving him overseas now will destabilize his growth because he is not yet ready for Europe; not even ready for Bafana. He is a talented player but there is still a lot of work ahead and Pirates will help him grow. He is still young, what is the rush of him going overseas now – Elton Shaw Kasetura
