According to KickOff, while Sirino has remained at Chloorkop his influence in the team has dwindled and he has now openly said that he hopes the transaction may be revived now that the transfer window has reopened.
“My contract expires with Sundowns after two seasons, and my relationship is great with Pitso Mosimane, but I have not communicated with him for a while because of the circumstances,” said Sirino.
Sirino delayed his arrival to Sundowns' pre-season training earlier this month, fuelling speculation that he was seeking a switch to Al Ahly.
