Bafana Bafana and Royale Union Saint-Gilloise winger Relebohile Mofokeng is reportedly attracting attention from another German club following his impressive start to life in European football.
According to reports from Germany, Bundesliga side SC Freiburg have joined Bayer Leverkusen in monitoring the South African international. Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar are also reportedly interested in the highly rated attacker.
Mofokeng’s growing reputation in Europe comes just months after completing his move from Orlando Pirates to Belgian champions Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.
SC Freiburg join Bayer Leverkusen in Mofokeng pursuit
German publication Fussball News reports that Bayer Leverkusen and SC Freiburg are both keeping tabs on the 22-year-old winger.
The report also identifies Dutch club AZ Alkmaar as another potential suitor.
Although there has been no official confirmation of a bid or formal negotiations, the reported interest from multiple European clubs highlights how quickly Mofokeng has established himself since leaving South Africa.
Leverkusen were previously linked with the attacker, but Freiburg’s reported involvement adds another Bundesliga club to the list of teams monitoring his progress.
Mofokeng making an impression in Belgium
The Sharpeville-born attacker completed a reported €3.5 million transfer to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in July 2026 after an outstanding final season with Orlando Pirates.
He arrived in Belgium with considerable expectations after being named Betway Premiership Player of the Season.
Mofokeng wasted little time making an impression at his new club. He scored a decisive penalty on his debut against Club Brugge, helping Union SG secure the Belgian Super Cup.
Under coach David Hubert, the South African has continued to develop his game, demonstrating his ability to operate in different attacking positions.
Five goals and four assists in 15 appearances
Mofokeng’s statistics underline the impact he has made during his opening months in Belgium.
The attacker has registered five goals and four assists in his first 15 appearances for Union SG.
He has also made his mark in European competition, scoring on his UEFA Europa League debut against Viktoria Plzeň.
His performances earned him a nomination for the Jupiler Pro League Player of the Month award for October, further strengthening his growing profile in Belgian football.
Bafana Bafana performances add to his growing reputation
Mofokeng has also continued to deliver for South Africa at international level.
He has played an important role in Bafana Bafana’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, including an impressive performance against Eritrea in which he scored twice.
His ability to influence matches for both club and country has made him one of South Africa’s most exciting attacking prospects.
With reported interest from Bayer Leverkusen, SC Freiburg and AZ Alkmaar, Mofokeng could find himself at the centre of further transfer speculation in the coming months.
For now, his immediate focus remains on maintaining his form at Royale Union Saint-Gilloise and continuing to establish himself in European football.
Would a move to the Bundesliga be the right next step for Relebohile Mofokeng?
