Loons bid on young South African winger Relebohile Mofokeng

Minnesota United set out to add Under-22 Initiative signings this summer and one target has come into focus on Tuesday.

GiveMeSport’s Tom Bogert reported the Loons have submitted a more than $2 million bid for 20-year-old winger Relebohile Mofokeng from Orlando Pirates in South Africa.

MNUFC had success in bringing Bongi Hlongwane up from Soth Africa using an U22 spot, and the club appears to be going back to that well for more talent.

Mofokeng, a member of South Africa’s senior national team, had five goals and seven assists in 2,291 minutes in the Premiership during the 2024-25 season, according to FBref.com. He is a right-footed player who typically plays on the left wing, per FotMob.

The Loons have two vacant U22 spots available before the summer transfer window closes Thursday.

The first significant transfer news came Monday with MNUFC working on a deal to bring in 26-year-old attacking midfielder Dominik Fitz from Austria Wien.
