• Peter Shalulile's remarkable chapter at Mamelodi Sundowns has reportedly reached its conclusion after six unforgettable seasons
• The Namibian goal machine now faces one of the biggest decisions of his career as interest grows from clubs across the region and beyond
• His departure marks the end of an era at Chloorkop, with the club set to lose one of the most decorated strikers in PSL history

Namibian striker Peter Shalulile is reportedly on his way out of Mamelodi Sundowns after six successful years with the CAF Champions League winners.

According to Soccer Laduma, Shalulile, who has also been linked with Zimbabwean club Scottland FC, will leave Sundowns following the expiry of his contract on 30 June 2026. Although his deal included a one-year option, reports indicate that neither the player nor the club exercised it.

Shalulile's future had been the subject of speculation in recent weeks, with discussions centred on whether the former Betway Premiership champions would retain one of the club's greatest-ever goalscorers.
