Monnapule Saleng, a key player for Orlando Pirates, has not played for the team since December 2024. The 27-year-old winger is reportedly considering a transfer during the upcoming winter window. Saleng’s salary, reportedly around R70,000 per month, is not among the highest in the Premier Soccer League (PSL). Despite this, his performance on the field has been significant. In the 2022-2023 season, Saleng scored 15 goals and provided 11 assists in 30 matches, earning him the PSL Player of the Year award. His standout performance included a decisive brace against Sundowns in October 2022 during the MTN8 semi-final. As discussions about his future continue, fans are eager to see where Saleng will play next season.
