As the PSL season heads toward an exciting finish, Mamelodi Sundowns are leading the charge for the title.
Their impressive 4-1 win over Orlando Pirates put them in the driver’s seat, but a surprising loss to TS Galaxy soon after showed that things aren’t set in stone yet.
Sundowns are eyeing their eighth consecutive league title, but the competition is still fierce.
Transfer Rumors and Player Movements
Off the pitch, there’s plenty of buzz surrounding player transfers and contract renewals.
One of the most talked-about names right now is Themba Zwane, a legend at Sundowns.
With no contract extension in sight, Zwane could become a free agent after this season.
Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly keeping a close eye on the situation, ready to pounce if the opportunity arises.
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates have turned down a massive R26 million bid from Zamalek for young star Relebohile Mofokeng.
At just 20 years old, Mofokeng is already attracting interest from some of the biggest clubs in the world, including Al Ahly and Barcelona.
The future looks bright for the rising star, but for now, he’s staying put at Pirates.
AmaKhosi have also been busy in the transfer market, with reports suggesting they made a R10 million offer for PSL goalkeeper Stanley Nwabili in January.
If the deal didn’t go through, they’re expected to try again when the transfer window opens in the offseason.
In other news, the future of Monnapule Saleng is uncertain.
The 26-year-old is currently sidelined, and no firm return date has been set.
With the season wrapping up soon, Saleng could be on the move once it’s over.
Kaizer Chiefs Watching Zwane’s Contract Situation Closely
There’s growing speculation about the future of Sundowns veteran Themba Zwane, with Kaizer Chiefs reportedly keeping a close eye on his contract situation.
As one of the most experienced players in the PSL, Zwane’s potential free agency is causing a stir.
Chiefs have a history of swooping in for out-of-contract players from Sundowns, as seen with recent signings like Gaston Sirino.
Even though Chiefs didn’t seem to plan for this situation, it wouldn’t be surprising if they made a move for Zwane, whose contract is set to expire in just five months.
The 35-year-old remains highly rated by Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos, and there’s a strong chance Chiefs could lure him to Naturena.
Zwane could follow in the footsteps of former Sundowns players who have joined Chiefs on free transfers, including Josta Dladla, Katlego Mphela, Leonardo Castro, Khama Billiat, Ramahlwe Mphahlele, and Sirino.
If Zwane decides to make the move, it would be another high-profile signing for the Soweto giants.
