Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates in the race for Bafana star!

According to reports, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are racing to sign a star player worth R20 million.

However, the sad and difficult news started pouring in after it was revealed that a French club is close to signing the player, Vuyo Letlapa, and the French club that is close to signing him is OGC Nice, which could leave Soweto's giants empty-handed.

Playing at left-back for Sekhukhune United, the 21-year-old has been on the radar of the Betway Premiership giants, but the French club's entry with a huge financial deal has made his club think more about selling him abroad for a bigger amount of money.

There are local teams which have shown interest and Pirates were believed to be in the forefront to sign him, but apparently the French Ligue 1 side OGC Nice is the one leading now. They are very close to closing the deal. Remember we spoke about European interest before.

A reliable press source revealed these details.

Yes, that’s what Sekhukhune United are looking at. R20m is what the price is believed to be for Vuyo (Letlapa). And just like they did with Elias Mokwana to Esperance de Tunis, they are including a 30% sell-on clause to the next club agreement on the deal.

The same press source added information about the deal.
