Both Sundowns and Chiefs were thought to have been involved in a tug-of-war for the services of Mbule, with the Brazilians now believed to have won that battle. 

He has struggled this season

Mbule has is currently suspended by SuperSport United and due to disciplinary issues, in what has been a troubled season for him. It was first reported earlier this month that Mbule had gone AWOL from SuperSport training, a rumour that was soon confirmed by the club’s CEO Stan Matthews. Matthews would then go on to say that the club had taken such action against the player as they felt he had ‘disrespected his teammates’. It had not been the first time that Matthews has had to mention the playmaker’s name alongside behaviour issues, as he did saw at the end of the January transfer window, after he was linked with Chiefs.

After former midfield partner Teboho Mokoena had left SuperSport for Sundowns, there were rumours that started to circulate on a possible move to Chiefs being at an advanced stage for Mbule. Matthews then poured called water on those rumours with a radio interview, saying one could not compare the situations of Mbule and Mokoena. The CEO then explained that while Mokoena had been a model professional and had earned his move, not the same could be said about Mbule, who had not been taking care of his body during the course of the season.
