Mamelodi Sundowns Star Set to Join PSL Rivals on Season-Long Loan

• Mamelodi Sundowns are set to lose one of the best midfielders to their rivals in the Premier Soccer League
• The South African international has failed to break into the Masandawana's starting XI since joining the club
• Netizens shared their thoughts on the Bafana Bafana star's proposed loan move to the Brazilians' rivals

Mamelodi Sundowns are set to lose Sipho Mbule to one of the rivals in the Premier Soccer League this summer.

The South African international has struggled to cement his place in the Brazilians' starting lineup and could join a new club before the transfer window closes.

The 26-year-old midfielder has fallen down the pecking order in Sundowns' midfield department, and it would be best for both parties to find alternative routes.

According to a report by iDiskiTimes, Mbule is poised to join Sekhukhune United on loan for the rest of the season from Mamelodi Sundowns.

The Bafana Bafana midfielder joined the Masandawana from SuperSports United two years ago but has yet to replicate his form at his former club at Sundowns.

Sekhukhune reportedly plans to sign the Mzansi midfielder before the summer transfer window closes.

The Brazilians are said to be interested in completing the deal, but the Limpopo-based club needs to reach a personal agreement with the midfielder to do so.

"Why would any right thinking team put such a gem on loan to a less fancied team? Mbule is for the BIG THREE!"

Sguy_De_Jagaban implied:

"And you still won't talk about the fact that guys like Stan Matthews and John Commitis are sabotaging Kaizer Chiefs and SA football. They forced him to go to that club now they are treating him like a below average player."

Siyakha86 commented:

"When Kaizer Chiefs wanted him Sundowns were moving heaven and earth to get him, now Chiefs no longer want him they don't either."

malekatokel reacted:

"When is his contract ending? I still believe in him, he's a baller. Age is still on his side, he needs a new home, Chlorkop was never his home."

shuzmasixole shared:

"Would be a good. Move, fantastic player, he is better off on the field of play. Wish it was permanent make this move, 1 season and bounce back up to a big team, he has the goods!"
