Mamelodi Sundowns could be set to lose on of their best players ahead of next season, according to reports.
Sundowns have barely recovered from the heartache and pain of losing the CAF Champions League final to Pyramids FC.
Sundowns set for squad rebuild?
Now it looks like they may be set to see another rival on the continent pinch one of their top talents. This comes after yet another underwhelming season by their standards, where they failed to get over the line in the Champions League. Even though Sundowns won their eighth Betway Premiership title in a row, that was their only trophy yet again.
Now as the squad seeks to go again for greener pastures, a rebuild may be necessitated. Already players such as Sipho Mbule and Rivaldo Coetzee have been released by he club. This after Sundowns made decided against exercising the option to renew their contracts for a further year. According to their agent Mike Makaab, the club made no indication they would take up the option. This allowing the deadline to lapse for them to exercise that option.
Esperance in advanced talks with Mudau?
Now, another player that will see his contract expire at the end of the season is Khuliso Mudau. The player has been a mainstay for Sundowns over the years, even for Bafana Bafana. He is also expected to go to the FIFA Club World Cup with the Brazilians. But now according to reports from Nessma in Tunisia, Esperance are in advanced talks to sign him!
“Again according to Nessma Sport,
@EsperanceSTunis is in advanced negotiations with the South African right back of @Masandawana (Sundowns) Khuliso Mudau #Mercato #TarajiDawla” said Amin Taraji, a North African journalist.
