Maswanganyi on the move?

Patrick Maswanganyi is reportedly keen on a return to Europe – former club UD Oliveriense are close to facilitating a reunion.

“It’s no longer just about an inquiry, it’s about negotiations now,” a source confirmed.

“They really want him back in Portugal. They are looking at the progress he has made and they are happy to bring him back to Portugal. It will all depend on what Orlando Pirates are looking at or if UD Oliveirense can afford what Pirates will be asking for Maswanganyi,” they added.

“The only issue that is there now is the R40 million that the club has put on Maswanganyi’s head. You know he is one of the best players now in the country and if the club wants that amount then UD Oliveirense should meet or make it even better than that. But since they are believed to have opened up negotiations then it will all depend on their offer that they table to Pirates.”
