Orlando Pirates could lose a first team player who has only recently signed a new contract with the club, the Siya crew has been informed.

This comes after Thembinkosi Lorch left Pirates recently, and the next player who could be on his way out is Vincent Pule.

Siya sources have indicated that the former BidVest Wits midfielder was also on the wanted list of Mamelodi Sundowns but he was not sure about joining their rivals.

"It's true he just signed a new long term contract last year which runs until June 2025 and has a one-year option but the way things are now he would be the next big player to leave Pirates," said the Siya source.

"His move out of Pirates is as good as done. He could have left in January or even before but there were other reasons that stopped the move. Sundowns and SuperSport United were some of the teams who were also interested in him.

"With his current situation at the club it's highly possible the move would happen in the next window period. That move is on the cards," the source said.

A second Siya source added that if the move won't be permanent then it could even be a loan.

"Because of his value it may be hard to find a team that could sign him permanently as he has two years remaining on his contract so the next move could as well be a loan move.

"As player he would like to be playing regularly looking at his age. And that gives him a chance for a loan move but all will be finalised at the end of the season as at the moment it's hard for him to command a place in the squad on a regular basis so a move is imminent whether on a loan or permanently," the source told Soccer Laduma.

The 31-year-old has only played seven DStv Premiership and one Carling Knockout Cup game where he had earned one assist in the former competition. 

Pule joined Pirates in July 2023 and signed a five-year contract which expired last year and it was then renewed for the next three years.

The Siya crew contacted Pirates for comment but no response was received before the publication of this story.
