The Buccaneers kick off their CAF Champions League campaign this weekend with a Preliminary Round clash against Lesotho’s Lioli FC at Free State Stadium, reigniting their quest for a second continental crown.
It has been revealed that the former Milford star has keen admirers at the Naturena-based giants after making a good start to life in the PSL. Mthinyane has quickly established himself as a key player for Steve Barker's side who are a selling club.
The Buccaneers have been doing well for the last couple of seasons across all competitions. Youngsters have taken the mandate to steer the Soweto giants, and the country at large to greater heights.
The striker has had to contend with limited playtime under the Moroccan tactician despite the 28-year-old being Bucs' top scorer in the last two seasons.
The Soweto giants last won the Premier Soccer League title in 2012 and have been finishing as runners-up to Masandawana for the last three seasons. Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou is tasked to break the Brazilians' dominance of the PSL after his predecessors like Jose Riveiro, Rhulani Mokwena, Muhsin Ertugral, Eric Tinkler, Roger de Sa, Milutin Sredojevic and Josef Zinnbauer failed to deliver the biggest trophy in South African football.
The Bucs' defender is one of the players tipped to make big moves out of the country soon, but he has been discouraged from seeing England as the best destination.
Masandawana have so far announced the departure of three players since Thursday as part of the process of reducing the number of players in the PSL champions' squad.
