The midfielder has attracted significant attention with his performances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, most notably scoring from the penalty spot to help South Africa secure a crucial 1-1 draw against Czechia , a result that kept Bafana Bafana's hopes of reaching the Round of 32 alive.

The 29-year-old will not be available for South Africa's decisive Group A clash against South Korea on Thursday after picking up his second yellow card of the tournament against Czechia, triggering an automatic one-match suspension.

Despite being sidelined for Bafana's final group-stage encounter, Mokoena continues to generate headlines away from the pitch.

According to Asharq Al-Awsat, Mamelodi Sundowns have received two official offers from clubs competing in the Saudi Pro League.

The report claims that Al-Taawoun FC, who finished sixth in the 2025/26 season, and Al-Ettifaq, who ended the campaign one place below them, have both submitted proposals for the South African international.

According to the report, Al-Taawoun's hierarchy want Mokoena to become the club's new midfield cornerstone and a key figure in their plans moving forward.
