Recently, several media outlets reported that Maghreb de Fès was interested in signing South African forward Mabasa, who currently plays for Orlando Pirates.Despite the enticing proposal from the Moroccan club, Mabasa has decided to remain with Orlando Pirates.According to Ghanaian journalist and African transfers expert Micky Junior, Maghreb de Fès was ready to put forward an attractive contract worth $25,000 per month over three years, with the option for the player to move to Saudi or Qatari clubs after two years.Spanish coach Pablo Franco Martín made a significant effort to convince the player, and negotiations had reached an advanced stage.
However, after consulting with his family, Tshegofatso Mabasa (28) preferred to decline the offer and continue his career with the Pirates, feeling that this was not the right time for a transfer and wanting to contribute to his South African club’s historic ambitions.Despite the rejection, Maghreb de Fès remains interested and has left the door open for future negotiations should Mabasa reconsider.
