Betway Premiership champs Sundowns are shaking up their squad with two players heading out. Kaizer Chiefs are chasing one of them.
Sipho Mbule and Rivaldo Coetzee are the Sundowns duo on the market.
Meanwhile, Etiosa Ighodaro has done enough on loan at AmaZulu to pique Chiefs’ interest.
Sundowns extend contracts of seven stars
Mosa Lebusa, Thapelo Morena, Terrence Mashego, Khuliso Mudau, Aubrey Modiba, Denis Onyango and Mothobi Mvala will all be staying with the champions until at least June 2026. Rivaldo Coetzee and Sipho Mbule have been released.
Kaizer Chiefs priced out of a deal for Ighodaro?
According to Soccer-Laduma, Russian side Baltika have stolen a march on Kaizer Chiefs and made a proposal to sign Etiosa Oghodaro. The 23-year-old Nigerian scored five times in the league last term for AmaZulu, on loan from Mamelodi Sundowns. The promising marksman is valued at R28.5 million by transfermarkt.
Former Sundowns boss Rulani to Pirates?
Former Sundowns manager Rulani Mokwena has vacated his post as head coach of Wydad AC. The 38-year-old has been strongly linked with a return to Orlando Pirates, and Rulani isn’t doing much to quell those rumours. He served as Josef Zinnbauer’s assistant in the 2019-2020 campaign.
Should Sundowns keep any of these players?
