Jali has been out of the picture since February this year following an alleged altercation with one of the Sundowns technical team members.

And since then, the writing had been on the wall that he would leave Sundowns although his next possible destination remains a mystery.

Now, according to Makaab, the two parties are in the process of finalising a mutual termination, and an official statement will come from the club.

Jali has already been linked with a number of PSL clubs, including Kaizer Chiefs, Stellenbosch FC and AmaZulu but that will become clearer once he’s officially left Sundowns.

MAKAAB CONFIRMS ANDILE JALI’S DEPARTURE FROM MAMELODI SUNDOWNS

“We are in the process of finalising a mutual termination, which will be done during the course of this week. He will leave on a positive and amicable basis,” Makaab told SABC Sport.

“An official statement will come from the club, but when a “new coach” comes in to the building…he has his own thoughts and ideas, and we have to respect that and so does AJ,” the agent added.

“I know that Sundowns are very appreciative of the value that Andile has brought to the club and he is too of the way he was welcomed. He wore the captain’s armband, which is one of the great achievements. There’s absolutely nothing else other than purely technical reasons.”

“We are trying to finalise the issue with Sundowns out of respect for both parties. He wants to play, he believes he’s got two more years at least. He was outstanding last year and good in the first few months of this season – but things can change. We will have to play it by ear now,” explained Makaab.

“Then we have to get him ready for pre-season. He’s got a personal trainer at the moment and he is very motivated for the next chapter. I still believe, and this is my opinion, that he is the best No.6 in the land.”
