Tunisian giants Esperance closing in on Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile
His place in the club has been uncertain over the last couple of weeks, and speculation about his future has been rife.
Shalulile currently has two years remaining on his contract with the Betway Premiership kings but has slipped down the pecking order at the club, with Luca Ribeiro and Iqraam Rayners preferred ahead of him.
With Kaizer Chiefs in desperate need of a prolific frontman, many pundits have linked the 31-year-old with a move to Naturena. Chiefs have struggled for goals over the last two seasons, and a striker who has scored over 100 goals in the PSL could be a perfect option.
However, it seems that Esperance, the former team of Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso, look set to steal a march in the race for his signature, according to an iDiski Times report.
Should Shalulile move to Tunisia, this could be seen as a lost opportunity for Chiefs, who are still on the hunt for a new striker with a proven goalscoring record in the Betway Premiership.
Meanwhile, Ribeiro's future also appears to be up in the air, with the Brazilian being scouted by clubs in Qatar as well as his home country.
However, after winning the PSL's Player of the Season award, Ribeiro has insisted he is not going anywhere, and has put his head down in training as Sundowns prepare for the upcoming season, which kicks off this weekend with an MTN8 clash against Richards Bay on Sunday.

Mngqithi eyes explosive start with revamped Arrows squad
Golden Arrows coach Manqoba Mngqithi gives out instructions to defender and captain Gladwin Shitolo as they plan an energetic approach to the season. | BackpagePix Image: BackpagePix Manqoba Mngqithi is banking on speed, energy, and a younger Golden Arrows outfit to power the club into a bold new era, as the veteran coach prepares for his first full season in his third stint in charge of Abafana Bes'thende. After narrowly missing out on the top eight last term, Arrows have undergone a sweeping transformation, with Mngqithi taking a surgical approach to lowering the average age of the squad and raising the ambition. The Durban-based side kick off their 2025/26 Betway Premiership campaign with a tricky away clash against newcomers Siwelele FC on Saturday at 8pm. It's a fixture Mngqithi sees as the perfect stage to unleash his new-look squad. 2️⃣5️⃣/2️⃣6️⃣ Betway Premiership fixtures. 🗓️ Here's how our fixtures stand for the month of August #10betgoldenarrows #greenandgold #sthendeway — Lamontville Golden Arrows FC (@goldenarrowsfc1) August 4, 2025 Video Player is loading.

'Our team was very old and no wonder we had a lot of unnecessary injuries (last season), we are hoping to have a team that's more energetic and more interesting in terms of play.' He added that while Arrows have historically leaned on experience, the new generation brings a fresh dynamic that he hopes will result in a more entertaining and resilient side. 'This is a totally different team in profile and personnel so I'm just eager to see everything come together now.' The former Mamelodi Sundowns mentor — who famously led Arrows to MTN8 glory in 2009 — is no stranger to building under pressure. But he admitted that unlike that championship run, this time pre-season results have given him reason to be optimistic. 'I remember when I won the MTN8 with Arrows, I didn't win a single game in pre-season but this time we've had a good pre-season so I'm upbeat about the new season.'

Tinkler gives update on Chiefs-linked Makgalwa
'If a club wants Keletso and makes the right offer, the club will not stand in his way,' said the Sekhukhune head coach. Sekhukhune head coach Eric Tinkler says the club are prepared to let winger Keletso Makgalwa leave – but only at the right price. ALSO READ: Nabi promises better Chiefs season The 28 year-old had a superb 2024/25 campaign at Sekhukhune, and was nominated for both the Footballer of the Season, and Players' Player of the Season Awards. Tinkler – 'Keletso has a job to do' The former Sundowns player scored 6 goals and provided 11 assists in 32 appearances for Babina Noko last season. Kaizer Chiefs have been linked with a move for Makgalwa but according to Tinkler, the club have yet to receive an acceptable offer from any team. 'Keletso has a job to do at Sekhukhune,' said Tinkler on Tuesday at the launch of the new Betway Premiership season in Sandton. 'Whether there was an offer or not it doesn't meant the criteria that the club wants. He is a professional footballer and he needs to move on now. 'I explained to Keletso – he had the top assists in the league last season. Now if he wants people to be serious he must do it again. 'If a club wants Keletso and makes the right offer, the club will not stand in his way. But if it is not beneficial to the club, why should the club release the player? It doesn't make sense.' A fine start Makgalwa already has one assist for Sekhukhune in the new campaign, Bradley Grobler heading home his corner in the 3-2 MTN8 quarterfinal win against TS Galaxy last weekend.

Mamelodi Sundowns star at centre of multi-million bidding war
Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile has found himself at the heart of a transfer tug-of-war, with lucrative interest pouring in from North Africa, the Persian Gulf, and Sudan. The only hurdle remains the hefty price tag the Tshwane club has placed on the Namibian star. The 30-year-old, who no longer features in head coach Miguel Cardoso's plans, has attracted concrete interest from Esperance de Tunis, an unnamed Qatari side, and Al Hilal of Sudan, who have entered the race late but with serious intent. Shalulile, who joined Sundowns from Highlands Park in 2020, wasted no time in becoming the club's top marksman, consistently delivering goals across all competitions. However, his form and influence appear to have meant little to Cardoso, who has sidelined the forward during pre-season and excluded him from Sunday's MTN8 quarterfinal against Richards Bay. The writing appeared on the wall when Shalulile, along with Lucas Ribeiro and Khuliso Mudau, failed to make the squad. A club insider confirmed. 'It became crystal clear that he would not be part of the way forward.' Cardoso, when quizzed about Shalulile's absence, dodged the question and pointed to the club's hierarchy for clarity, further fuelling speculation over the striker's future. While Shalulile has reportedly received verbal offers from all three interested clubs, the stumbling block remains Sundowns' valuation. According to a source close to the negotiations, personal terms will not pose a challenge, but the club must agree to the right transfer fee. Despite his recent exclusion, Sundowns activated Shalulile's one-year option after his participation in the FIFA Club World Cup, signalling their intent to either cash in or retain control over the situation. With just one year left on his contract, Sundowns are under pressure to offload the player or risk losing him for free. The coming days will be crucial, as Esperance, the unnamed Qatari outfit, and Al Hilal continue to jostle for his signature. Unless Sundowns reduce their asking price, Shalulile's potential exit could remain in limbo. However, all signs point towards an imminent move. And possibly one of the biggest headlines of the South African transfer window. Let us know by leaving a comment below or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
