Mamelodi Sundowns’ star forward Peter Shalulile is reportedly set to leave the club after four prolific seasons, according to recent speculation. The Namibian striker, known for his exceptional scoring record, joined the South African giants in 2020 and quickly became a fan favorite with 101 goals and 26 assists in 205 appearances.
However, discussions about his future have intensified following a season where his role was reduced, with teammates Lucas Ribeiro and Iqraam Rayners often preferred in key matches. A recent report by IOL stated, “Star Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile has left the club after deciding not to renew his contract with the club.” While no official confirmation has been provided by the club, the news has sparked debates among supporters and analysts about the reasons behind the potential departure.
Over the past year, Shalulile’s playing time has been limited, with only 16 starts in the latest campaign, leading to speculation about his place in the team’s future plans. Since his move from Highlands Park, Shalulile has been celebrated as one of the most impactful signings for the Tshwane-based club.
His contributions were critical in securing multiple league titles and maintaining dominance in domestic competitions. However, the club’s ongoing pursuit of continental success in the CAF Champions League has prompted a restructuring of the squad, with younger talents reportedly being prioritized.
Questions are now being raised about potential destinations for the 30-year-old forward. While his next move remains unclear, interest from both local and international clubs is expected due to his proven track record.
Fans have been encouraged to share their opinions on social media or via email regarding where they believe Shalulile should continue his career. Despite the uncertainty, appreciation for his dedication and goal-scoring ability has been widely expressed.
Supporters are reminded that updates on the situation will be shared as soon as more details are confirmed by the club. For now, the focus remains on Sundowns’ preparations for the upcoming season, which may feature a reshaped attack aiming to conquer Africa’s most prestigious club competition.
