Mofokeng’s value soars to R111 million after flying start in Belgium

Royal Union Saint-Gilloise attacker Relebohile Mofokeng has seen his market value soar just a few months after joining the Belgian club.

The 21-year-old winger made the move to Belgium after four successful years with Orlando Pirates, where he won seven trophies with the Soweto giants.

During his final season at Pirates, Mofokeng enjoyed an outstanding campaign, earning the club’s Players’ Player of the Season, Footballer of the Season and Young Player of the Season awards.

He was also part of Hugo Broos’ Bafana Bafana squad that competed at the Africa Cup of Nations, featuring in three matches before making his move to Europe.

Mofokeng has settled in well at Union SG, making an immediate impact with his performances. The South African has scored four goals in nine appearances across all competitions, with his impressive form coinciding with a significant increase in his market value.

Union SG reportedly paid around R60 million to secure his services from Pirates, but his valuation has since risen considerably.

Mofokeng’s market value has reportedly doubled from €3 million to €6 million in just four months. The latest figure translates to approximately R111 million, underlining his growing stature in European football.

If the former Pirates star continues to deliver impressive performances in Belgium, his market value could climb even further, potentially reaching the €10 million mark.

For Mofokeng, maintaining his current form could prove crucial as he looks to establish himself in European football and strengthen his position in the Bafana Bafana setup.
