It’s been the biggest story in South African football this week. Soccer Laduma’s leading journalist, Masebe Qina, reported that the Spanish giants are following the Orlando Pirates winger with the view of signing him for the B team at La Masia.
Mofokeng’s former teammate and mentor, Erasmus, went online to say Barcelona’s attack would be complete with Lamine Yamal and Relebohile Mofokeng on the left and right flanks.
“Him [Relebohile Mofokeng] on the left with Lamine on the right… sweets and chocolates,” Erasmus said via X.
Him on the left with Lamine on the right 👌🏾👌🏾
