According to reports, a French club is interested in signing a star player who is a target for the Orlando Pirates, and the deal is expected to be one of Pirates' most high-profile transactions of the summer, despite the foreign competition surrounding the deal and the possibility of the Buccaneers completing it.

Who is the player who is making the media buzz!

Orlando Pirates may face disappointment in their pursuit of Sekhukhune United striker Vuyo Letlapa, as French Ligue 1 side OGC Nice emerges as the frontrunner for his signature.

According to insider sources speaking to Soccer Laduma, the Buccaneers were initially leading the chase for the in-demand forward, but Nice has now taken pole position in negotiations.

“Local clubs, including Pirates, showed strong interest, but OGC Nice is now closest to finalizing the deal,” revealed a source. “This aligns with earlier rumors of European interest in Letlapa.”

The proposed transfer fee is reportedly set at R20 million, with Sekhukhune United insisting on a 30% sell-on clause—mirroring the structure of Elias Mokwana’s recent move to Tunisia’s Esperance. This means Sekhukhune would profit significantly if Nice sells Letlapa in the future.

While Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs were previously linked to the player, Nice’s financial muscle and international appeal appear to have swayed the deal. Letlapa’s potential move to Europe could mark another high-profile departure from South Africa’s top flight.
