Orlando Pirates are closer to agreeing a deal with an unnamed Bahraini side for the transfer of midfielder Patrick Maswanganyi.
As first reported by SABC Sport, Maswanganyi is set for a move to Bahrain to unnamed side. The 28-year old move has been imminent as he nearly left the club for Chippa United at the beginning of last season just before Buccaneers won the league.
This time around Maswanganyi’s move is closer than before as he already missed the MTN8 semi-final first-leg clash against Sekhukhune United at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. Maswanganyi is set to join South African midfielder Menzi Masuku in Bahrain.
The Egyptian side Pyramids never showed any interest on the midfielder despite the rumours. Tito won it all the Buccaneers, Betway Premiership, MTN8, Carling Knockout Cup and Nedbank Cup.
He played 120 matches for Pirates, scored 28 goals and assisted on 21 occasions.
