Transfer report: Second German club targets Relebohile Mofokeng

Following Beyer Leverkusen’s reported interest in Mofokeng in recent weeks, the German publication Fussbal News has revealed that fellow Bundesliga club SC Freiburg have joined the fray.

The outlet further revealed that Dutch club AZ Alkmaar are in the mix.

SC FREIBURG INTEREST IN RELEBOHILE MOFOKENG

“German Bundesliga sides Bayer Leverkusen and SC Freiburg are reportedly monitoring the 22-year-old South African international, who currently plays for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise,” the report said.

The Sharpeville-born star Mofokeng has enjoyed a dream start in Europe since leaving the Betway Premiership as the Player of the Season.

The 22-year-old winger completed a €3.5 million move to Belgian Pro League champions Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in July 2026 after an outstanding final season with league champions Orlando Pirates.

He first announced himself in Belgium with a decisive penalty on his debut against Club Brugge to help Union SG win the Belgian Super Cup. He has since continued to impress under coach David Hubert, showing his versatility in attacking positions.

His impressive start has also extended to the continent, where he scored on his UEFA Europa League debut against Viktoria Plzeň.

To cap it all, Mofokeng earned a nomination for the Jupiler Pro League Player of the Month award for October.

The brace further underlined his growing importance to the national team, with the 22-year-old becoming an influential figure in South Africa’s attack.
