That is because, it is believed that Mbule is set to have crunch talk with SuperSport United regarding his future, as Chiefs and Sundowns continue to circle. 

Decisive week ahead in potential Chiefs or Sundowns deal?

The previous transfer window was dominated by transfer speculation linking Mbule with a big money move away from SuperSport United. The lead in terms of securing his signature kept exchanging hands between Chiefs and Sundowns, with almost every new report. SuperSport had also made very little secret of their wish to sell the player abroad, instead of any of their two local rivals.

n the end, all of those reports proved to be futile as Mbule stayed put at Supersport United, as he said he would in one of his Instagram stories during that time. Even though both Matsatsantsa CEO Stan Matthews as well as Mbule’s representatives have always maintained their preference to sell the player overseas, that has not stopped the player from picking which local club he would prefer to play for between Chiefs and Sundowns should he remain in the DStv Premiership next season.

In fact, Mbule’s agent Mike Makaab confirmed on Gagasi FM that his player was indeed of interest to Chiefs, before going on further to claim that he has already received an official offer from the Glamour Boys for the services of the former South African junior international. Even though it now seems like Sundowns have switched their interest to Teboho Mokoena, who now seems poised to join The Brazilians this window, it doesn’t mean that they won’t go for Mbule after wrapping up that deal.

“Siya sources have revealed that the Bafana Bafana midfielder is keen on a new challenge, with the player in the final six months of his contract, which is set to expire at the end of the season. Matsantansa could look to exercise the one-year option in the player’s deal to avoid losing the midfielder on a free. Indications are that a meeting to discuss the future of the 23-year-old between SuperSport and Mbule’s representatives, is set to take place this week.”  Wrote the publication.
