SuperSport United is reportedly setting its sights on bolstering its squad for the upcoming season, with inquiries allegedly made regarding Orlando Pirates midfielder Thabang Monare, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Sources close to both clubs have hinted at SuperSport's interest in Monare, with discussions underway as both teams strategize for the next campaign.
The potential move would mark a reunion between player and former coach, as Monare previously played under Gavin Hunt at BidVest Wits, a factor speculated to influence the transfer, according to insiders.
An undisclosed source suggested that acquiring Monare could significantly benefit SuperSport United, providing valuable experience to complement the team's youthful talent.
"With more youngsters in the squad, SuperSport United sees Monare as a guiding force, enhancing the team's dynamics," the source shared with the media.
Furthermore, there are indications that SuperSport could secure Monare's services on a free transfer, with his contract at Orlando Pirates set to expire in June.
"By 30th June, he will be a free agent, potentially allowing SuperSport United to secure his signature without a transfer fee," explained a second source close to the negotiations.
Monare, a seasoned Bafana Bafana midfielder, has made limited appearances for Orlando Pirates this season, featuring in just 11 PSL games since joining the club in 2020 from the now-defunct BidVest Wits.
