'Scoring for Bafana Bafana against Lesotho doesn't make Mofokeng the best! Putting him with Barcelona's Lamine Yamal & Real Madrid youngster Endrick is far-fetched, but as long Relebohile plays for Orlando Pirates, he will never go abroad' - Fans

There has been a massive debate on whether the winger should move to Europe after his exploits in the Premier Soccer League.

Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng scored his first goal for Bafana Bafana as the national team beat Lesotho 2-0 in Group C's World Cup qualifier played on Friday at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

The 20-year-old was outstanding the entire game and ended up winning the Man-of-the-Match Award.

Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye made a bold claim that Mofokeng's name should be mentioned in the same breath as some FC Barcelona and Real Madrid starlets.

However, the majority of the fans in Mzansi don't agree with him.

Mofokeng to join Sundowns or Chiefs soon?
It's a pity in the next few years he won't be mentioned as a Pirates player. And in the next 7-15 years he will either be a Sundowns or a Kaizer Chiefs player. If sooner he could be heading to Masandawana if they don't let him go abroad as early as next season - Mxolisi Ngongoma

Let him look for a good but average team, not Barca
Mofokeng must not go to Barcelona, he needs a club that is less popular than Barca so he can improve with the overseas game and be a star. He will then move to a much bigger team! If he were to go to Barca now I am afraid they aren't short of his skill and who will he bench? He needs to go to an average but good team to improve and be a star there and then make his big move to a bigger club where he can bench someone - Bhut Mbuso Mkhize

Let him play in the Caf Champions League and then we will judge him
Endrick is playing for Real Madrid and not Chippa United. Yamal is playing for Barcelona and not Orlando Pirates. They don't know Chippa United and Orlando Pirates in Europe. The only club they know in Barcelona is Mamelodi Sundowns Football Club. So don't exaggerate people. Let him play with the best in the Champions League, then we will judge him going forward - Wandile Gama

Europe's standard is high and Rele has to measure himself against them
The standard is not the same. Europe is the highest level. He has to go and play there, that way he can measure himself against them - Jeanette Jenny Mosehle

Reminds me of Southampton's Sadio Mane
He just reminds me of Sadio Mane of Southampton, a short skillful featherweight who went on to become a world powerhouse. Mofokeng must move abroad as soon as possible - Junior JJ

Putting him with Barcelona & Real Madrid youngsters is far-fetched
Putting him with Barcelona and Real Madrid youngsters is far-fetched. He is the best currently in the SADC region and has the potential to be the best in Africa if he keeps his feet on the ground. Let's not rush to Spain - Sandla Comfort Nduduzo Tsela

As long as he playes for Pirates...

Scoring vs Lesotho doesn't make Mofokeng a great player
Scoring a goal in the penalty box against the likes of Lesotho does not make Mofokeng a great player like those at Barcelona and Real Madrid. That level is way too high for him. If he was really that good, he wouldn't still be playing at the lowest level as the PSL. Come next season, he'll still be at Pirates. Comparing Mofokeng to the likes of Lamine Yamal is an insult to the latter who's playing at the highest level for the second-biggest football club in the world. The goal that Rele scored was all due to the brilliant run from Elias Mokwana who unselfishly gave it to him on the plate - James Charles Maduro
