Bayern Munich Trial Threatens Orlando Pirates' Cape Town City Signing

Orlando Pirates Face Bayern Munich Trial Threat

Orlando Pirates could lose out on Cape Town City star Emile Witbooi, who is set to go on trial with German giants Bayern Munich. The Buccaneers have linked with the 17-year-old since pre-season.

What Happened?

Cape Town City chairman John Comitis revealed that his player will now go on trial with Bayern. Comitis stated that Witbooi has been in trial at Chelsea and Sporting Lisbon, and has now been invited to train with Bayern Munich.

Why It Matters for Orlando Pirates FC

Given his age and talent, Orlando Pirates are likely to lose out on Witbooi. The Buccaneers have already signed nine players for the season and are looking to dominate local football.

What Comes Next?

No formal bid was made by Orlando Pirates for the talented attacker, said Comitis. The chairman expressed confidence that he will find a way to make a deal happen.
