Mamelodi Sundowns defender draws Euro interest – Agency speaks

Mamelodi Sundowns defender has drawn overseas interest, according to Kick Off. Khuliso Mudau, the dynamic full-back from Sundowns, has become a target for several overseas clubs as the transfer window approaches. His agency has weighed in on European interest around Mudau. This surge in attention underscores his growing reputation in international football circles.

Mudau’s importance to Sundowns

Mudau’s importance to Sundowns was vividly demonstrated during the recent Nedbank Cup final against Orlando Pirates. Despite suffering an early injury, Mudau played on with his shoulder heavily strapped under the directive of head coach Rulani Mokwena. His resilience and commitment on the pitch have further boosted his profile. Making him a sought-after asset in the upcoming transfer market.

Following his standout performances domestically, Mudau earned a call-up to the Bafana Bafana squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria and Zimbabwe. This international exposure has not only showcased his abilities on a global stage. But has also contributed to the heightened interest from overseas clubs seeking to bolster their squads with his versatile skills.

Interest from European clubs

Mudau’s agency, JDR Consulting, has revealed an uptick in interest from European clubs, particularly from England and France. Though specific club names remain undisclosed for now. Reports however suggest that Championship side Burnley and Belgian outfit Genk have shown concrete interest in Mudau. Additionally, French club RC Lens has emerged as another contender vying for his signature. While no official offers have been tabled yet. The indications are strong that Mamelodi Sundowns defender Mudau could be making a move to Europe if negotiations progress positively.

Mudau’s current contract with Sundowns is set to expire in June next year. With the transfer window opening imminently, Sundowns may face pressure to consider offers to avoid losing Mudau on a free transfer next year. This situation puts the club in a strategic position to negotiate the best possible deal that benefits both Mudau’s career aspirations and the club’s financial interests.

Trial opportunity for Abubeker Nasir

In related news, former Mamelodi Sundowns player, Abubeker Nasir, is set to embark on a trial with Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko. Nasir, who recently departed Sundowns, has been invited for a one-week assessment with the possibility of securing a permanent contract. His tenure with KaboYellow was hampered by injury setbacks. Which limited his playing time and opportunities to showcase his potential.

As the transfer window unfolds, all eyes will be on Khuliso Mudau’s future amid the growing interest from overseas clubs. His resilience, versatility, and international exposure make him a valuable asset sought after by clubs across Europe. Meanwhile, Abubeker Nasir’s trial at Asante Kotoko presents an opportunity for the talented attacker to reignite his career in the vibrant football landscape of Ghana.
