Pirates monitoring Gordinho’s situation at Chiefs

Orlando Pirates are said to be waiting with bated breath to see what happens with Lorenzo Gordinho at Kaizer Chiefs.

“We all know that Chiefs will not let him go directly to Pirates unless they have released him. There are talks now but with Bloemfontein Celtic also in the mix wanting him on loan, it is difficult to tell right now what will happen. But Pirates are interested and watching the situation carefully,” said a source.

As reported earlier, Gordinho’s agent Mike Makaab has confirmed that Bidvest Wits and Bloemfontein Celtic have also shown interest in the lanky defender.
