LATEST: Sirino move away from Sundowns set to come ‘soon’

It’s been reported for quite some time that Sirino no longer wants to remain at Sundowns, with both Orlando Pirates and Al Ahly strongly linked with a move for the Uruguayan.

Sundowns haven’t appeared interested in releasing the 30-year-old, but with the recent addition of Bradley Ralani and the anticipated arrival of Erwin Saveerda, that thinking could change – according to The Citizen.

“There should be some movement involving Sirino soon enough. His current deal ends in 2024 but the club is now willing to listen if there is anyone else interested in him. I have heard that Al Ahly have renewed their interest in him,” a source told Phakaaathi.

“But he could just switch sides in the DStv Premiership with Orlando Pirates also having made themselves an option should he be no longer needed at Sundowns. I think a loan deal could be reached before the end of the current transfer window.”

Time for Sirino to move on?

Earlier this month, former international Linda Buthelezi expressed his view that it was time Sundowns accepted the exit of Sirino.

“It’s difficult for a player to bounce back if he is not on good terms with the other players,” Buthelezi added.

“At a stage, I experienced something similar at Sundowns during Ted Dumitru’s era.

“With the likes of Kenny Niemach and Augustine Makalakalane, I was no longer happy, so there’s no need to stay.

“So this boy’s attitude is not that good anymore, he feels he is not welcome anymore.

“The coaches know they will mess up the team if they select someone the other players no longer like.

“So in this case Sundowns must just allow him to leave, he’s not bringing a good spirit to Sundowns.”
