With Mamelodi Sundowns boss Miguel Cardoso having recently clarified Thembinkosi Lorch's situation, it is now reported that at least three clubs are interested in signing the South African winger.
More than a month after impressing at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Lorch's future remains uncertain.
The manager of his parent club, Sundowns, recently told the media that Lorch isn't part of his plans, as there's an internal situation that needs to be resolved between the player and the club.

Elsewhere, however, Lorch continues to attract serious interest — particularly from his most recent club, Wydad Athletic Club.
The 32-year-old spent six months on loan at Wydad, becoming a regular in the starting line-up.
Indeed, Wydad are still believed to be keen on securing his services, despite facing hurdles in negotiations. Reaching an agreement on a transfer fee and contract terms is understood to be one of the main challenges.
However, a report by AfricaFoot now claims that, in addition to Wydad, two other foreign clubs are also keen on Lorch’s signature — namely, FC Seoul in South Korea and Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia.
The Africa Foot report adds that FC Seoul view Lorch as an ideally experienced profile they are looking for, while Al-Ettifaq are said to be willing to offer the financial package he desires.
Lastly, it is also claimed that Wydad are now on the back foot in their pursuit of Lorch, having failed to activate a specific purchase option before it expired.
