Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile has not had much impact last season and was often used as a sub under Miguel Cardoso.
The lanky striker only scored six goals in 24 matches last season, which was his worst return since joining Masandawana back in 2020. The Namibian also had an underwhelming season in the 2023/24 campaign, only netting nine times.
Before that, Shalulile was scored 10+ goals in the past and was regarded as the best striker in the Premier Soccer League (PSL).
Is Peter Shalulile really a free agent?
Some reports have indicated that the Namibian striker is a free agent as of 1 July 2025. According to Sundowns, the player is still contracted to the Tshwane giants until 2027 at least.
In 2022, the striker extended his deal by five years. “We are delighted to announce our Namibian hitman Peter Shalulile has signed a 5-year contract extension with The Brazilians,” Sundowns wrote.
Under Cardoso, Shalulile has not been at his best, prompting the coach to field Tashreeq Matthews alongside Iqraam Rayners and Lucas Ribeiro. During the FIFA Club World Cup, the striker was hardly utilised, which frustrated Downs fans.
Will Peter Shalulile leave Mamelodi Sundowns?
Reports suggest he may be on his way out, and perhaps the changes were made to his contract. If he is indeed a free agent, expect Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates to pounce. Even at 32. Peter Shalulile remains one of the league’s deadliest strikers. More details surrounding his future will surely emerge in the coming weeks.
Do you think Shalulile will join either Chiefs or Pirates?
