Orlando Pirates star Monnapule Saleng is attracting interest from European clubs, and the Siya crew finds out which teams are looking at the midfielder and what's the latest on the transfer development.
This is not the first time that there has been interest from Europe for the former Free State Stars player, as Soccer Laduma has previously reported on a potential transfer. The Siya crew also revealed how Pirates are preparing their squad for a future where they could be without the services of Saleng and Relebohile Mofokeng.

Siya sources close to the player and the club have indicated that the interested club is Ligue 1 side Monaco while Bucs may be willing to cash in on the player before his current contract expires next June.
"I can tell you that interest is now high for Saleng. There are two teams and one of them is Monaco from France. They wanted Cassius Mailula before he went to the MLS," said the Siya source.
"Since they didn't get him they have turned their attention to Saleng. I think they have talked to the agent as well as the team but there is nothing final yet.
"The other team is from Belgium but I don't have the name for that team. But the club wants to make some money from him with his contract coming to an end in June next year.
"They could wait for AFCON if he goes there but it could be even before that with the way things are going right now," the source told Soccer Laduma.
A second source added that the Belgian club is leading the race now but that movement will depend on how the offer is followed up.
"Yes, the move could happen in January. There are two teams interested in him now and the one in Belgium looks more serious than the one in France but they have both shown interest mainly for a move in January," the source concluded.
Soccer Laduma contacted Pirates for comment but no response was received while this story was prepared.
