Bafana Bafana forward Relebohile Mofokeng has recorded a significant increase in his market value following his move from Orlando Pirates to Belgian club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.

The South African attacker has seen his valuation rise from €3 million (approximately R55.3 million) to €6 million (around R110 million), according to figures published by Transfermarkt.

The latest assessment means Mofokeng's market value has doubled since joining the Belgian outfit, highlighting the growing financial recognition surrounding his career.

Before his departure from Orlando Pirates, Mofokeng had established himself as one of the notable young talents in South African football. His performances attracted attention, with his technical ability and attacking qualities making him an important player for the Soweto-based club.

His move to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise represented a major step in his career, giving him an opportunity to continue his development in European football. The increase in his valuation since that switch suggests that his profile has continued to attract attention in the international market.

A market value assessment, however, does not necessarily represent the amount a club would receive if it decided to sell a player. Transfermarkt valuations are estimates and can change depending on several factors, including performances, age, contract situation and market demand.

For Mofokeng, reaching a reported €6 million valuation marks an important milestone, particularly as he continues to build his reputation beyond South Africa.

The development will also attract interest from followers of South African football, given the growing attention surrounding players making the transition from the Premier Soccer League to European clubs.
