There appears to be some confusion surrounding the future of Namibian striker Peter Shalulile at Mamelodi Sundowns.
Earlier this week, reports suggested that the 30-year-old forward would be leaving the club following the expiry of his contract at the end of June. However, it has since emerged that Shalulile remains contracted to the Brazilians until 2027, having signed a new deal in 2022.
This means any club interested in his services would need to approach Sundowns with a formal offer. Back in February, Sudanese giants Al Hilal SC were reportedly monitoring his situation in Tshwane.

Despite scoring over 100 goals in all competitions for the club, Shalulile has seen his game time reduced in recent months. The likes of Iqraam Rayners, Arthur Sales, and Lebo Mothiba have featured ahead of him, fuelling speculation that the prolific forward might seek a move to reignite his career.
If Sundowns were to consider offers, there would be no shortage of suitors for one of the Betway Premiership’s most clinical finishers.
One club that could benefit greatly from his goal-scoring instincts is Kaizer Chiefs. The Soweto giants have struggled for a consistent striker and continue their rebuild under head coach Nasreddine Nabi. At Naturena, Shalulile would likely play a central role, offering both experience and leadership to a youthful squad.
For now, though, all indications are that the Namibian marksman remains very much a Sundowns player.
