Orlando Pirates have not yet addressed the future of their winger Monnapule Saleng.
The talented 27-year-old has not played for the club in six months despite being fit. His last appearance was in December during the CAF Champions League group stage against Al Ahly.
Sources indicate that Saleng’s absence is due to a dispute regarding his salary. He is reportedly seeking a pay increase and an improved contract.
Saleng not happy with his Pirates paycheck
Earlier this year, Saleng’s parents told Sunday World that he is unhappy with his current earnings, which are estimated to be around R70,000 per month.
The Bafana Bafana star feels that his salary does not reflect his contributions to the team. Although Saleng has been training with the club in recent months, his future at Orlando Pirates remains uncertain.
The club has released several players but has yet to announce any new signings. However, there are rumours that Tshepang Moremi, who recently left AmaZulu, has signed with the Soweto giants and is expected to be announced as a new recruit during the pre-season.
Regarding Pirates star Monnapule Saleng, he has been linked to a possible move to rivals Kaizer Chiefs. The Glamour Boys have also been rumoured to have signed two former Bucs players earlier this month.
Which team will sign Monnapule Saleng?
