The sources added that an agreement between Pirates and Baroka is nearly finalised, with personal terms believed to be settled between Kgositsile and the Buccaneers.
"The deal is as good as done and the player is set to join the team in July for pre-season and that's when the long term deal will kick in. It's believed all the personal terms have already been agreed between Pirates and Kgositsile," the insider told the Siya crew.
A second insider stated that the Buccaneers are working on downsizing their squad by releasing certain players, though that list has not been finalised yet.
"Yes, there will be some outgoings to open up space for the incoming players and one of the players who is set to leave is Angolan international winger Gilberto. You know he is currently on loan at his former club in Angola. But he won't be the only one as there are other players who are expected to leave as well to create more space for new players like Kabelo (Kgositsile) as well. So it's expected that there will be more movements in the off season at the club," the second source revealed.

The midfielder has been consistent at Baroka, playing most games last season and scoring goals. This season, he has appeared in less matches and hasn't been prolific.
Baroka FC chairman Kgorishi Mphahlele confirmed Pirates' interest but could not state if the deal is finalised.
"At the moment I can not say whether he has signed a five-year deal with Pirates or not but it's true Pirates are interested in Kabelo and they have enquired about him. That's what I can tell you," Mphahlele told Soccer Laduma.
The Siya crew contacted Pirates for comment but the club had not responded by the time this report was published.
