Earlier this week, Soccer Laduma revealed that Israeli heavyweights Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Tel Aviv were in active discussions with the Sea Robbers over the signing of the 20-year-old attacker.
The former were the most forthcoming in their approach for the Bafana Bafana star, with this publication informed that they tabled an offer worth as much as €1.4 million (R29 million), along with a 20% sell-on clause in favour of the Buccaneers — an offer the club were willing to mull over.
However, Mofokeng is believed to have opted against even entering discussions over personal terms, as it is understood he is not keen on a move to the Ligat ha'Al.

The diminutive winger enjoyed a standout campaign with Pirates during the 2024/25 season, scoring 12 goals and providing 15 assists in all competitions, spearheading the club’s attack as they progressed deep into various tournaments on all fronts.
