Insiders close to the club have indicated that a French club has shown interest in the former All Stars defender. The source reported that scouts from the French team have been impressed by Sesane's performances and have recommended that their club takes a closer look at the talented defender.
"The team in France is impressed with his performance so far. Yes, he hasn't played that so many games but even with just a game or two you can see his talent and the European based scouts for the team have watched some of his live games and videos as well and they are happy. They have made inquiries and shown interest," the Siya source stated.
A second insider shared further insights, stating that while the French club's identity is known to both the player and the club, they prefer to keep the details confidential at this stage to avoid disruptions.

"Yes, it's a Ligue 1 team in France. They are a very good and dependable club but they don't want to jump the gun now and say which team it is. But the interest is there and they are very happy with the boy. But for now, let's give all the involved parties the chance to deal with things in their on way until everything is done," the second source stated.
The 24-year-old defender had returned from a loan spell with Motsepe Foundation League side All Stars, where he had mostly played as a substitute. This season, he has been a revelation in terms of his quick progress and has participated in CAF Champions League matches, the MTN8, and the Carling Knockout, showcasing consistency that has led to his South Africa national team call-up, although he has yet to debut on the field for Bafana Bafana.
Attempts to reach his agent, Basia Michaels and Pirates, for comment were unsuccessful at the time of publishing this story.
As Sesane continues to develop and impress both locally and with a Bafana call-up, his future seems promising with potential European opportunities on the horizon. Pirates will undoubtedly monitor any interest closely as they consider the potential impact of international interest on his career and the team.
