Bayer Leverkusen is making moves, and their eyes are firmly fixed on Union St-Gilloise talent Relebohile Mofokeng. Word from Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri says the Rhineland club has already put in an inquiry and they’ve got their scouts watching the South African star. This isn’t just a casual glance, either. Leverkusen is serious about bringing in some fresh talent.
Mofokeng, who’s only 22, has been on an absolute tear since last summer. St-Gilloise picked him up from the Orlando Pirates for €3.5 million after he had a “successful cameo” at the 2026 World Cup. Since then, he’s locked down a regular starting spot and his numbers are screaming. We’re talking five goals and four assists in just 15 games. That kind of production is exactly why clubs like Leverkusen are circling.
It’s not just Leverkusen, though. Ligue 1 side LOSC Lille in France is also in on it, apparently putting Mofokeng on their shortlist for future signings. With a contract stretching until 2030, St-Gilloise is in the driver’s seat and they are absolutely going to demand a significantly higher fee for this kid. You don’t put up those kinds of numbers and then go cheap, especially when the big European clubs come calling. Expect this transfer saga to heat up.
