Orlando Pirates could reignite interest in a Western Cape-based midfielder and long-time target ahead of the new season, according to insiders.
Bucs will look back bittersweetly on a season filled with extreme highs and extreme lows.
They could well have ended up with a treble after annexing the MTN8 but could only go as far as the semi-final of the CAF Champions League and also came up short in the Nedbank Cup.

Despite the exit of head coach Jose Riveiro, the Soweto giants are understood to have already made major ground in strengthening the team for next season.
One of those reinforcements could be a long-time target, Jaedin Rhodes.
Although the 22-year-old has endured an underwhelming season with Cape Town City, he remains a high priority on the Buccaneers' list.
The club has been met with resistance by City in previous attempts to lure Rhodes to Gauteng, but according to sources, will try once more in the upcoming window.
Complicating matters will be the Citizens' peculiar situation.
They are facing the possibility of heading to the Promotion/Relegation Play-Offs against, as it stands, Casric Stars and Orbit College.

Additionally, Rhodes' initial three-year contract was extended in June 2023, putting pen to paper on a five-year deal.
Meanwhile, Pirates are believed to have already wrapped up the signings of Sinoxolo Kwayiba from Chippa United and Baroka FC duo Kabelo Kgositsile and Tshepo Mashiloane.
