Orlando Pirates transfer news: Who’s in and who’s out?

Orlando Pirates were one of the busiest teams in the recently closed transfer window, and this was expected given their hectic fixture schedule this season.

The Buccaneers will be competing on all fronts after securing a place in the 2026-27 CAF Champions League.

As the defending league champions, Abdeslam Ouaddou’s men want to defend their crown while also chasing the CAF Champions League title.

It has been 31 years since Pirates tasted continental glory, and with the team seemingly on the roll, the pressure is on them to deliver this time around.

It is for that reason they went all out in the transfer market, especially after also selling some of their top stars.
