An agreement for a midfielder who has changed the dynamics of the Orlando Pirates team is about to be finalized. Taking in fresh air for their engine room.
After the Nedbank Cup final, an impressive midfield player is expected to sign a permanent contract with the Orlando Pirates. Since joining on a loan from SuperSport United in January, 24-year-old Thalente Mbatha has performed admirably. Mbatha has left a lasting impression on both the management and supporters of the Pirates. Pre-agreed terms for a three-year contract mean that no new negotiations are necessary.
Mbatha moved from being a SuperSport United benchwarmer to a consistent starter for the Buccaneers with ease after joining the Pirates. With the “Happy People,” he has rapidly become a fan favorite because to his strong performances.
SuperSport CEO Stan Matthews acknowledged the impending deal in a statement to Soccer Laduma. “We will finalize the Pirates’ option on Thalente (Mbatha) following the Nedbank Cup final.”
AGENT CONFIRMS PERMANENT MOVE IN ORLANDO PIRATES DEAL
Mike Makaab, Mbatha’s representative, expressed optimism that the sale will close. The final word in the loan deal belongs to the Pirates. Renegotiation is not necessary because all financial terms have already been agreed upon. If there is no permanent relocation, I would be shocked.

Although Mbatha appears to have a bright future, Tshegofatso Mabasa, another Pirates star, has also been grabbing news.
