“SuperSport United was the first to show interest, but now Sekhukhune United has also made inquiries. His current contract runs until June, but he remains a Pirates player for now,” source toldSekhukhune United’s pursuit of Lepasa is driven by their need to strengthen the squad for the CAF Confederation Cup. “Sekhukhune United wants to bolster their squad, and they need a striker like Lepasa,” the source added.

However, the negotiation dynamics could be complicated. As SuperSport United is interested in a swap deal involving Thalente Mbatha.Lepasa’s agent, Steve Kapeluschnik, emphasised the procedural norms, stating, “He is under contract with Orlando Pirates. Interested clubs must approach them first and agree on a transfer fee.
