As previously reported by Soccer Laduma, the Buccaneers had inquired about Khiba, though nothing came of it.
However, insiders have added that the interest from Pirates for the former Marumo Gallants player has resurfaced, and they are looking at the January transfer window period.
"It was TS Galaxy who held onto the player because they had lost some important players in the off season but Pirates were the ones leading the race for his signature. Now they are back and though nothing had been finalised they are still interested in Thato (Khiba). Let's wait and see what happens in the next transfer window period as it's not far now," the Siya source stated.
A second insider stated that Pirates are set to loan out players in January to open up space for Khiba.

"I believe that for the team to accommodate him they are looking at loaning out some players in January. They are mainly looking at fringe players and also the players in Khiba's position who are not playing. Let's wait for January and you can see what is going to happen but the interest is back on from Pirates," the second source stated.
The 28-year-old has been busy with The Rockets this season, a team that has struggled with having to play many away games at the beginning of their campaign.
As Pirates reignite their interest in Khiba, the January transfer window could see changes in the squad.
With the reported plans to loan out fringe players to make space for Khiba, fans will be eager to see how this potential move unfolds and what impact it could have on the squad.
Soccer Laduma contacted Pirates for comment but the club had not responded by the time this report was published.
