Orlando Pirates could be looking to bolster their squad for the second half of the season with the signing of Abbubaker Mobara from AmaZulu. Sources have indicated that the Buccaneers are interested in the 28-year-old defender, who previously played for Pirates between 2016 and 2019.
Mobara has made 14 appearances for Usuthu this season and has been impressive with his performances. However, sources have indicated that there could be reluctance from AmaZulu in releasing the Cape Town-born player.

“There is interest in AmaZulu’s Abbubaker Mobara from Pirates but it’s a tricky one because the player is valued highly at AmaZulu and is in the plans of the coach (Romain Folz). In fact, the coach doesn’t want to lose him,” a source said.
“But you know how these things work and if Pirates make a good offer anything can happen. The truth of the matter is that big clubs like Pirates will always have an edge over some of their opponents in the league in these things because of the involvement of money which make the transfers possible,” the source added.
The Buccaneers have already signed veteran striker Ndumiso Mabena and versatile former Cape Town City player Craig Martin in December, and could now be looking to add Mobara to their ranks.
