Mamelodi Sundowns attacker Gaston Sirino is still not happy at the club and is looking to leave. Sirino was previously linked with Al Ahly after Pitso Mosimane went there but the deal ended up not happening.
Sirino has not been featuring for Mamelodi Sundowns this season and his future at the club remains unclear. He has not been playing for a while but now new reports state that he is still unsettled and looking for an out.
Rulani Mokwena, his coach, now claims that the Uruguayan offensive magician is not focused and that he still needs to fight for a spot in the team according to a report by The Citizen. In fact, Mokwena seemed disinterested in the topic and wanted to talk about other players.
"Gaston is a top football player, he has so many qualities that he could give to the team and yes we miss his creativity and ability to solve problems with one action but given that, we need a Gaston who is at his highest level with full focus and concentration," said Mokwena.

In the meantime, Neo Maema has been putting pressure on players such as Themba Zwane and Gaston Sirino for a place in the starting line up according to Soccer Laduma.
Maema scored his first Sundowns goal against Golden Arrows in the MTN8 second leg semi-final, curling his effort into the corner of the net with his weaker right foot.
