Orlando Pirates keen on re-signing R17 million PSL star

Orlando Pirates are interested in re-signing a former midfielder from rivals Mamelodi Sundowns next season.

The Orlando Pirates are reportedly monitoring the situation of a Mamelodi Sundowns star player.

Andile Jali’s contract expires at the end of the current season which means he can sign a preliminary contract elsewhere in January.

Given his age and the wealth of talent in the Brazilian midfield, Jali might be tempted to end his career elsewhere.

He’s only played eight games in the Brazilians’ starting XI this season and that could be a huge concern for the PSL midfielder this season.

The midfielder is valued at almost R17m by TransferMarkt but could leave the club for FREE.

According to local publication Kick-Off, Sundowns are keen to extend Andile Jali’s contract.

However given the fact that game-time won’t be guaranteed at Chloorkop, Jali may just be tempted to move on in what will likely be his final major contract in the PSL!

“KickOff understands that both Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are keeping a close eye on the player’s contract situation.” the publication reported.
