Relebohile Mofokeng’s New Agency Revealed Amid Interest from Lille and Leverkusen

Interest from European clubs in South African football talent has brought fresh attention to the international representation business after reports linked Bafana Bafana star Relebohile Mofokeng with Lille and Bayer Leverkusen.

Relebohile Mofokeng’s reported emergence on the radar of Lille and Bayer Leverkusen has shifted attention from his performances at Union Saint-Gilloise to the agency guiding his career. The South African forward is represented by THE·TEAM, an international football agency whose clients include established names from Europe’s leading leagues.

Mofokeng joined the agency in July 2026, according to reports about the partnership. THE·TEAM welcomed the Bafana Bafana international after his involvement with the national side at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He has since moved to Belgium, where he plays for Union Saint-Gilloise.

The agency’s portfolio features Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde, Manchester City defender John Stones, Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie and Liverpool’s Curtis Jones. Newcastle United winger Harvey Barnes is also a client. Its wider group includes Newcastle full-backs Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall, Brighton defender Ferdi Kadioglu, Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and Greek winger Christos Tzolis.

That collection places Mofokeng with an organisation connected to prominent clubs and competitions. A football agency can assist with career planning, contract discussions, transfer negotiations and commercial opportunities, although services for an individual player depend on the agreement with their representatives.

The timing is notable because Mofokeng’s performances in Belgium have reportedly attracted attention from France and Germany. Lille are said to have included him on a shortlist of attacking targets, while Bayer Leverkusen have reportedly made an enquiry and are monitoring his progress. These reports indicate interest, not an offer or agreed transfer. EWN +1

Mofokeng joined Union Saint-Gilloise from Orlando Pirates in July 2026. Reports credit him with five goals and four assists in 15 appearances, an encouraging return in his first period in European football. His contract runs until 2030, giving Union a strong position should another club seek his signature. EWN +1

For the 22-year-old, representation by THE·TEAM offers access to an agency working with high-profile professionals. Whether that relationship leads to another move will depend on his performances, clubs’ intentions and negotiations involving Union Saint-Gilloise. For now, his task is establishing himself in Belgium as interest in his progress grows across the European game and other major destinations.
