Sundowns had until the end of May to decide whether or not Maluleka would stay, but that deadline has passed and no decision has been taken.
Speaking to The South African website, Maluleka’s agent Sean Roberts said they are still in talks with Sundowns over the midfielder’s future.

“I’m sure we will be able to have an update in the next few weeks, but we are still talking to Sundowns.”
Maluleka joined Sundowns from Kaizer Chiefs in mid-2020, but he had to wait until the start of the 2020-21 season to feature for the Tshwane giants.

His lack of the regular game time since joining Sundowns is the reason Maluleka has been linked with a possible exit at the club.
The 33-year-old midfielder has featured 19 times for Sundowns during his two-year stay, and scored just once while registering four assists.
