They are looking at improving the squad mainly in the midfield because they will be apparently looking at releasing some of the current midfielders so Masindi is one of those players hence the three-year contract they have offered him," the source told Soccer Laduma.
Additionally, discussions between Pirates and Marumo Gallants could include a player exchange as part of Nemtajela’s move to the Soweto giants.
