Orlando Pirates’ main issue recently has been Monnapule Saleng’s contract, as he has been sidelined for an extended period. However, there is still hope that he might return to the club.
Details: According to Soccer Laduma, if the disagreements between the club and the player’s representatives are resolved, Saleng could potentially play again for Orlando Pirates. The club has yet to release an official statement regarding his future.
Saleng has not featured in a match for four months, but the Pirates previously described his absence as temporary. The team’s coach is eager to have him back in the lineup.
Quote: “Saleng was one of the first names on the coach’s list. Without a doubt, he is one of those players whose talent the coach admires. The coach would like to see him back in the team, even if it’s after this season,” said Riveiro.
Reminder: We previously reported that the forward and the club are approaching the end of their partnership. The saga surrounding Saleng has been ongoing for over three months due to the player’s salary demands, which Orlando Pirates have yet to meet.
