Evidence Makgopa may no longer belong to Orlando Pirates after the Africa Cup of Nations as his agent is pushing for a move away from South Africa

Evidence Makgopa may not return to Orlando Pirates after the Africa of Nations.

If what the lanky striker’s agent’s claims are anything to go by, then Makgopa may be history at the Soweto club.

Paul Mitchell, who runs the affairs of the former Baroka striker, said the player has always been in demand even before he joined the Sea Robbers.

“It’s no secret that before Makgopa went to Pirates, we had two significant offers on the table with a lot of money at the time for Baroka to go overseas, it was rejected, and he went to Pirates,” Mitchell told the Soccer Beat podcast.

“He’s thriving at Orlando Pirates, he has had a decent scoring ratio, and we’ve had interest in him in the last window from North Africa, but it wasn’t what we wanted and what Evidence wanted.

“I think a lot of people don’t understand that when you go to North Africa, one of the biggest things is receiving your money. We’ve been on that route before, where big clubs are not paying players their money.

“So with Europe, I’m hoping through the AFCON he could get a move. He’s offering a lot, and I think he could thrive in the English Championship because he has that work rate and the agility. We are always open, and when we did his new deal with Pirates, it was not a secret that the desire is to go overseas, and if the offer is right, I’m sure they will facilitate the move.”
