Mamelodi Sundowns forward Peter Shalulile’s future could be decided sooner rather than later, with his representative, Jakes Amaning, understood to be currently in South Africa to discuss the Namibian star’s next move.
A source close to the situation told Soccer Laduma, “Jakes is here to have important discussions about Peter’s future. There’s been a lot of speculation in recent weeks, and the aim is to get clarity on what happens next. It’s no secret that clubs outside the country have been monitoring him.”

The intervention comes amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding one of Africa’s most prolific strikers, whose contractual situation has been a hot topic in recent months.
Reports have linked Shalulile with a move away from the Brazilians, leaving the question open as to whether he will finish the season in the Betway Premiership.
Despite the speculation, the 31-year-old was in the matchday squad for Sundowns’ league opener against Chippa United on Saturday, a clash that ended 1-1.
Since joining the Brazilians from Highlands Park in 2020, Shalulile has established himself as the club’s main source of goals and earned a place in the elite “100 PSL Goals” club – a group that includes legends such as Daniel Mudau, Pollen Ndlanya, and Siyabonga Nomvethe.
Contrary to some reports suggesting the striker became a free agent in June, Soccer Laduma understands that his current deal only expires in June next year.
This means he will be eligible to sign a pre-contract with another club from January, should he opt not to extend his stay at Chloorkop.
Competition for a starting spot under new coach Miguel Cardoso is fierce, with Iqraam Rayners, Arthur Sales, and Lebo Mothiba among players also vying for places in attack.

The coming weeks could therefore be decisive in determining whether Shalulile remains a Sundowns talisman or takes on a fresh challenge elsewhere.
Attempts to reach Amaning for comment were made, however, he had not responded to the Siya crew at the time of publishing.
