Soweto giants Orlando Pirates might have to look elsewhere for a new left-back. Vuyo Letlapa looks to be on his way to Europe.
FRENCH CLUB WIN VUYO LETLAPA RACE?
“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,” a source told Soccer Laduma. “They are very close to closing the deal. Remember, we spoke about European interest before,” the insider added.
According to another source, the French side have offered to pay R20 million for the Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs target.
“Yes, that’s what Sekhukhune United are looking at. R20m is what the price is believed to be for Vuyo (Letlapa),” the source said to the outlet.
“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. So, if Nice sells Vuyo then Sekhukhune United will get 30% from that deal. That’s why they are looking at R20m for now,” he concluded.
