Mamelodi Sundowns star Shalulile set to join African powerhouse
Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile is actively closing in on a blockbuster move to Tunisian giants Esperance de Tunis, as the club prepares to sanction one of the most high-profile exits from the Premier Soccer League this transfer window. Sources at iDiski Times confirm that Esperance are finalising terms with Sundowns to secure the signature of the 31-year-old Namibian international, who left the Brazilians' training camp this morning to prepare for his journey to Tunisia. Shalulile's potential departure would represent a major shake-up for Sundowns, as they look to recalibrate their squad following a dominant domestic campaign. If all goes according to plan, Shalulile will become the second Premier Soccer League star to join Esperance this season, after Elias Mokwana completed his move from Sekhukhune United earlier in the 2024/2025 campaign. The duo's arrival highlights Esperance's aggressive strategy to recruit top talent from South Africa as they aim for continental glory. Shalulile, who also captains Namibia's Brave Warriors, has notched up a remarkable 130 goals in 290 appearances across his time with Sundowns and Highlands Park. Cementing his legacy as one of the most lethal strikers in South African football. His move to Tunisia not only ends a glittering chapter in the PSL. But also signals Esperance's intent to dominate both domestically and in CAF competitions. 'Shalulile's departure would leave big boots to fill at Chloorkop. And all eyes will now be on how Sundowns respond in the market,' the source said. Should Mamelodi Sundowns let Shalulile go?

Kaizer Chiefs must bid if they want Peter Shalulile – Sundowns star under contract until 2027
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.

Peter Shalulile could be the missing piece in Kaizer Chiefs' rebuild
Could Shalulile make Chiefs great again? Namibian striker Peter Shalulile could be the perfect signing to reignite Kaizer Chiefs ahead of the new Betway Premiership season. Photo: Phill Magakoe/AFP Image: Phill Magakoe/AFP Peter Shalulile would be the perfect man to spearhead Kaizer Chiefs' push up the Betway Premiership table next season. The Namibian hitman is reported to have exited Mamelodi Sundowns when his contract expired at the end of June, and is now available to sign for any club he wishes. In recent season, Kaizer Chiefs have struggled for goals and are in desperate need of a goal machine that knows how to put the ball in the back of the net. A move to Chiefs will give the 31-year-old Shalulile a chance to continue his career at the highest level. His record in front of goal, and his impressive haul of trophies are a testament to his ability as a footballer. And because of his experience in winning everything under the South African sun, he would be perfect in guiding Chiefs' young players. Get your news on the go, click here to join the IOL News WhatsApp channel. Shalulile joined Sundowns in 2020 from Highlands Park, and went on to score over 100 goals in all competitions for the Tshwane giants Shalulile is the type of player who can instantly make Chiefs a better team. And as Nasreddine Nabi rebuilds the team so that they can start challenging for honours again, they should be doing everything they can to sign a player of his pedigree. At Chiefs, he can be the missing piece in the puzzle that gets the club firing on all cylinders again. If Chiefs are serious about getting the club back to where they belong, then a player of Shalulile's calibre is one they should be signing. A proven winner with a relentless work ethic, Shalulile would bring more than just goals to Naturena. He would also arrive with the mentality of a champion – something Kaizer Chiefs have sorely lacked in recent years. His presence in the dressing room could inspire a shift in mindset and allow the younger players to flourish. If the club truly wants to restore its legacy and reignite belief among its supporters, signing Peter Shalulile isn't just a good idea – it's a necessary one.

Is Peter Shalulile a FREE AGENT? Will Chiefs or Pirates pounce?
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). 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. 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.
