Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona have reportedly been making inquiries about Orlando Pirates starlet Relebohile Mofokeng.

The 20-year-old Mofokeng had an impressive breakthrough season that saw him score the winning goal in the Nedbank Cup final and earn his first international cap for Bafana Bafana. And earlier this year, he was likened to Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal by TS Galaxy owner Tim Sika.

And now, the Spanish giants have seemingly taken notice of his talents and have started to ask questions, according to a source quoted by Soccer Laduma.

“There have been enquiries from Barcelona on Relebohile Mofokeng. The boy has been monitored by the coaches of the Barcelona B team with interest,” the source was quoted by the football publication.

“They have been following him and made approaches with some of their contacts in the PSL, including certain coaches they know closely, asking about the player.

“He is a player with potential to play in some of the top leagues in Europe and the feedback has been positive on the enquiries made.”

In July, Sukazi was so impressed with the impact Mofokeng had on Pirates’ season that he felt the then teenager could do the same things as Yamal, who played a key role in Spain’s European Championships triumph having just turned 17.
