With Egyptian giants Al Ahly seemingly showing interest in Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng, the club have reportedly now made their stance on the player clear.
The Club of the Century recently parted ways with Percy Tau and according to Egyptian media personality Amir Hisham, the side identified the 20-year-old as someone who could fill the void on one of the flanks.

It had been claimed, per Algomhor, that the Red Devils had been impressed by the levels he showed while representing the Buccaneers in the CAF Champions League and shortlisted the attacker.
Rumours ignited after Al Ahly treasurer Khaled Mortagy was thought to have been spotted visiting South Africa.
While the Egyptian giants are looking to add to their current crop of players during the January window, they are not eyeing up a move for the South African starlet at the moment, according to Kooora.
"Al-Ahly coach Marcel Koller's talk about the winter transfer deals not being over does not mean negotiations with Mofokeng," a source told the Egyptian publication.
"Mofokeng is a great and young player, and he was in Al-Ahly's calculations, but Orlando and the player are considering European options in the summer of 2025," he added.
"Orlando reached the quarter-finals of the CAF Champions League, so they want to benefit from Mofokeng, and they will not give him up."Read: Rashford's Man Utd exit confirmed!
The 20-year-old was in action over the weekend and won a last-gasp penalty, which was converted by Patrick Maswanganyi to hand Pirates a 1-0 win over Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto derby.
