Orlando Pirates are reportedly preparing to announce several new signings as the transfer window opens for the 2025/26 season.
The club is eager to bolster its squad ahead of what promises to be a demanding campaign.
Fans and analysts expect fresh talent to join the team soon to improve overall performance.
The Buccaneers have identified key areas in their squad that need reinforcement.
Midfield Revamp in Progress
One of the main priorities for Orlando Pirates is strengthening their midfield.
Reports suggest that the club has transfer agreements in place to bring in Sihle Nduli and Sinoxolo Kwayiba.
Nduli is expected to join from Stellenbosch FC as a free agent.
Kwayiba, on the other hand, will be arriving from Chippa United.
These additions aim to boost creativity and stability in the Pirates’ midfield lineup.
Interest in Prince Ndlovu Continues
Beyond the midfield, Pirates are also rumored to be reigniting their interest in Prince Ndlovu.
The young Zimbabwean winger was on trial with Orlando Pirates two years ago but did not make a move at the time.
Instead, Ndlovu stayed with Highlanders FC, where he has continued to develop his skills.
Highlanders FC currently value him at around R15 million, a price believed to be directed at Orlando Pirates.
The R15 Million Price Tag for Ndlovu
According to sources close to Soccer-Laduma, Highlanders consider the R15 million price fair.
They believe the fee reflects Ndlovu’s talent, quality, and promising future.
Orlando Pirates reportedly made inquiries about the player, which prompted Highlanders to set this valuation.
Ndlovu has been making waves in Zimbabwe and attracting attention from clubs abroad.
Ndlovu’s Rise and Potential Impact
Prince Ndlovu first caught the eye of South African fans when he trained with Orlando Pirates in March 2023.
He impressed the Sea Robbers’ scouts with his talent and development during that time.
Since then, Ndlovu has made significant progress and is currently part of Zimbabwe’s COSAFA Cup squad.
Adding him to the Buccaneers’ roster would increase their options on the wings.
Assessing the Move for Orlando Pirates
Orlando Pirates already have promising young wingers like Relebohile Mofokeng and Mohau Nkota.
Signing Prince Ndlovu would add depth and competition in the wide attacking positions.
The club’s management must decide if the R15 million fee is worth the potential long-term benefits.
Fans are eager to see if the Buccaneers will successfully secure his signature.
