Union Saint-Gilloise are set to sign Relebohile Mofokeng after being close to a club-to-club agreement with Orlando Pirates.
The Belgian Pro League side have offered Mofokeng a four-year deal and the Bafana Bafana star is set to fly straight to Belgium from the US.

I want to buy a Chicago Fire Mbokazi jersey now - just because you're so incredibly invested in our starboy. I know promoting such an amazing player can net a great payday for you if you end up selling, too, but you saw value in him when foreign clubs tried to fit him into stereotypes. You respected the competition offered in PSL and you respected the local voices who supported him. You were right to do so.
In a world where African soccer is routinely maligned even by those in power, you still saw him. It should be the bare minimum for recruiters but unfortunately it isn't. You were the exception to the rule and you loved him for us when he was so far away from home.
Even at the very risk you'd have him for a good time, not a long time.
South Africa ❤️ @ChicagoFire and @MLS for this
