Shalulile could move to the Middle East, according to the tweet below:

According to a Briefly News source at Sundowns, the club could consider selling the PSL-record chaser if they receive a substantial offer.

"You can see from the price tag that Sundowns are unwilling to let him go for cheap, but alternative plans are being made because you never know in football. Sundowns have been busy refreshing their squad in the last few days, and more moves are coming in this window. Shalulile plays an important role at the club and is chasing a PSL record, so there is a lot to keep him there, but a considerable bid could benefit everybody."

Sundowns have placed a R75 million price tag on Shalulile, according to the tweet below:

Fans are divided over Shalulile's future

Local football fans said on social media that Shalulile should consider leaving Sundowns, while others want the player to stay in Mzansi.

Sheikh Saidi Saeed Mpinga says Shalulile should go:

"He deserves to explore his talent somewhere else. Don't forget this boy played a very important role in putting Sundowns on the map with his scoring ability."

Lasberry Romeo Lasberry says there are more important things than money:

"Money won't satisfy anyone in this world."

Zamokuhle Disemba wants the player to stay:

"Shalulile is going nowhere. Sundowns extended his contract for one year, and he is a good striker. I wish he would stay for a long time; he's like our legend, according to his contribution to our team."
