The biggest storyline in the South African Premier League currently revolves around the contract situation of Monnapule Saleng and Orlando Pirates, with a resolution seemingly on the horizon.
Details: In a recent training video, Saleng was seen back with his teammates, both on the field and in the gym. This marked his first session with the Pirates in 2025, after being absent for nearly four months.
Additionally, there are rumors that José Riviero may depart at the end of the season, despite strong backing from management, players, and fans. While negotiations are ongoing, uncertainty still lingers regarding his future.
Earlier reports highlighted the ongoing focus on Saleng’s contract, with the club eager for his return to the pitch.
Reminder: It’s also been reported that Saleng and the club may be nearing the end of their partnership. The saga surrounding his contract has been dragging on for over three months, largely due to his salary demands, which Orlando Pirates have yet to accept.
