On the other side of the spectrum, it could be experienced players that the club, which they could be trying to cash in on.
Now out of nowhere, Soccer-Laduma suggests that diminutive midfielder Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo’s Pirates future is also in doubt!
“It’s a tight situation for him (Ndlondlo). His future really hangs in the balance as the club (Pirates) is looking at revamping the squad for the next season. They are in talks with him for a loan deal until his contract expires in June next year. Or he could be involved in a permanent move this year. There are clubs interested in him as well but it’s still early stages to say much. But seriously, his future is up for discussion,” Said one source to the publication.
NDLONDLO NEXT?
A second source revealed that Ndlondlo could be on ‘trials’ in their pre-season tour to Spain.
“They (Pirates) will wait until they finalise the new comings before they make his decision and that could be after returning from Europe. So let’s wait until the end of July when they are back then things will be clear that time. But yes, his (Ndlondlo) future hangs in the balance now. He is in limbo as a player,” said the source.
