PSV Eindhoven are believed to have made a decision between pursuing one of two Bafana Bafana stars in a potential deal that could cost the Dutch club around R120 million.
Siya sources close to Orlando Pirates have indicated that PSV are believed to be fancying Relebohile Mofokeng ahead of Mamelodi Sundowns striker Iqraam Rayners.
Both players have been linked with interest from European clubs this year.

The sources close to the matter have added that the Eredivisie powerhouse would be prepared to table an offer for just over R100 million for the Pirates sensation, despite initially showing interest in Rayners. However, it remains to be seen what price Bucs could eventually settle on.
"R100 million is like a round figure. It's more than that! The amount they were negotiating for was initially R120 million. You know it's not exactly what you want that you get, and that's why they are talking about the R100 million, but it's believed to be more than that," the insider told Soccer Laduma.
The insider referred to an amount of R100 million that PSV are reportedly prepared to pay Bucs for Mofokeng, according to local reports in South Africa, and the Siya source noted how the expected price is higher.
A second source stated how PSV's recruitment team had originally targeted Sundowns striker Rayners before shifting their focus to the younger, Mofokeng.
"There are different scouts from Holland who are believed to be working with recruiters for PSV. They enquired about Iqraam Rayners but it is believed that they are looking at a long-term investment now, and that's why they have opened up negotiations with Orlando Pirates for Rele Mofokeng," the second insider revealed.

The 20-year-old Mofokeng has enjoyed a meteoric rise in South African football. Last season, he underwent trials at Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers in England, and after delivering exceptional performances for Pirates in 2024-25, the Bafana Bafana winger has been nominated for the PSL Player of the Season award.
Soccer Laduma contacted Pirates for comment on the matter, but the club had not responded by the time this report was published.
The Siya crew also contacted PSV insiders who believe the local South African reports are not true. Pirates have since released a statement denying reports of any bid from PSV for Mofokeng.
