With Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, and Mamelodi Sundowns all expressing interest in Sekhukhune United left-back Vuyo Letlapa, new developments have emerged regarding his future.
Sources close to both the player and the club have indicated that Letlapa could be lost to South African football sooner than anticipated, with a move to one of the big three PSL clubs now looking less likely.

Insiders have revealed that while there were initial inquiries from a European club, a transfer could happen sooner than expected.
"When he was at Jomo Cosmos, Bra J (Jomo Sono) was planning for him to go to Europe. He saw the potential in him and that is coming to light now as it is believed that though there is interest from the PSL teams, Europe could be the first choice for now. The club is not prepared to lose him locally at this point unless the money is really good, " a source revealed to the Siya crew.
Indications are that Sekhukhune are already planning for life without Letlapa.
"At the moment, the team has three left backs in Letlapa, Mpho Rammala and young Sikhosonke Langa. The club would not just easily let him go without finding the right replacement first, unless that European move happens and they cannot stand in his way," the source added.

The Siya crew contacted Sekhukhune United for comment, but no response was received at the time of publication.
