Thembinkosi Lorch could be lost to Orlando Pirates before the mid-season transfer window if media reports are anything to go by.
According to Voetbalnieuws, Club Brugge had their first offer of around R30 million ($2.1 million) rejected by the Buccaneers.
However, they are reportedly willing to raise it in order to land Lorch from the Soweto giants.
Lorch revealed soon after the closing of the previous transfer window that Pirates rejected an offer from an unnamed European club.
The Free State-born attacker hasn't really been able to rediscover his old form this season - and many have suggested that he's still trying to make peace with the fact that he couldn't move abroad.
