Barcelona join transfer hunt for Relebohile Mofokeng | OneFootball

La Liga giants Barcelona are giving consideration to an offer for one of the great jewels of African football.

That’s according to Diario Sport, citing Soccerladuma, who point towards Relebohile Mofokeng as the player in the sights of the Camp Nou brass.

Mofokeng, for his part, is a 20-year-old attacker, who generally operates on the left wing.

After something of a breakout season on the books of the Orlando Pirates last time out, the youngster has since gone from strength-to-strength, widely hailed for his standout performances across the campaign to date.

And such efforts, evidently, have not gone unnoticed across Europe.

As per Sport, a whole host of clubs from the Premier League are expressing an interest in bringing Mofokeng to England in the near future.

Also keeping a close eye on the situation, though, are the aforementioned Barcelona.

Amid an ongoing search for African talent, Mofokeng has been watched by the Blaugrana’s scouting team on a number of occasions of late.

This comes with a view to a potential offer for his signature.

Should any such move come to fruition, the South African international would be expected, at least initially, to link up with Barca Atlètic.
