Is he staying? Saleng spotted at Orlando Pirates training
The main intrigue in the South African Premier League remains the contract situation with Monnapule Saleng and Orlando Pirates. It seems the resolution is near.
Details: In one of the latest training videos, he was spotted surrounded by teammates. Saleng was seen both on the field and in the gym. This was his first session with the Pirates in 2025 — he had been absent from the team for almost four months.
Incidentally, José Riviero might leave the club at the end of the season, despite strong support from management, players, and fans. Negotiations are ongoing, but uncertainty remains an issue.
Previously, we reported that one of the main topics for Orlando Pirates remains the contract of Monnapule Saleng, who has been out of play for a long time. The club hopes he will return to the field.
Reminder: There was also information that the forward and the club are nearing the end of their story together. The saga of Saleng has been dragging on for more than three months following the player's salary demands, which Orlando Pirates have yet to accept.
