Orlando Pirates have reportedly pulled out of the race to sign a key target after Mamelodi Sundowns emerged as the frontrunners. The Buccaneers were initially competing with Sundowns for the Bafana Bafana player, but they are unwilling to engage in a bidding war. Pirates have already identified a 'Plan B' and are reportedly close to signing a trialist attacking midfielder who impressed head coach Jose Riveiro. Meanwhile, the imminent arrival of Thabang Matuludi could spell trouble for an Orlando Pirates defender, as the club looks to loan out some players to manage its squad.
