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 failed to win CAF Champions League again
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 Sundowns. 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.
Esperance rumoured to be in advanced talks with Mudau
Just last week, this publication reported that Tunisian giants Esperance were in advanced talks to sign Mudau. The initial report coming from Tunisian paper Nessma Sport claims it would be a free transfer. That may not be true, as the player still has an option for one more year. That is thought to have already been exercised by Sundowns.
The only worry is that Sundowns have been trying to tie Mudau down to a new longer-term deal. According to his agent Steve Kapeluschnik both parties are wide apart on an agreement.

“We have been negotiating for some time now but we haven’t found each other yet on a new deal. There is no agreement on a new contract yet,” said Kapeluschnik to Soccer-Laduma on negotiations for a new deal for Mudau at Sundowns.
