Details: Mamelodi Sundowns' offer to sign Peter Shalulile

African football could be set for a blockbuster transfer as Tunisian giants Esperance close in on the signing of Mamelodi Sundowns' prolific striker Peter Shalulile.

The Namibian forward, whose contract technically expired at the end of last season, saw Sundowns trigger their one-year extension clause - meaning any move now requires a transfer fee. His notable absence from Sunday's MTN8 victory over Richards Bay, alongside teammates Lucas Ribeiro Costa and Khuliso Mudau, has fueled speculation about his imminent departure.

Reliable sources indicate Esperance have already tabled an official offer to the Tshwane-based club as they look to bolster their attacking options before the 2025/26 season kicks off. The Tunisian champions appear determined to secure the services of the 31-year-old goal machine, who has been instrumental in Sundowns' domestic dominance in recent years.

Should the deal materialize, it would mark another high-profile move in what's shaping up to be a transformative transfer window for African football. Esperance's pursuit underscores their ambition to reclaim continental glory, while Sundowns face the challenging task of replacing one of their most consistent performers.

The coming days are expected to bring clarity as negotiations between the two African powerhouses reach their decisive phase.

What is the value of the financial offer?

Tunisian powerhouse Esperance have made their move for Mamelodi Sundowns' legendary striker Peter Shalulile, but the deal hangs in the balance as financial negotiations reach a critical stage. Sources reveal an initial bid of R13 million ($750,000) was rejected, with Sundowns holding firm at R16 million ($950,000).

The plot thickens as Shalulile himself enters the fray – the Namibian international is reportedly advocating for a reduced transfer fee to secure a more lucrative personal package with Esperance. Currently in his homeland after being excused from Sundowns' MTN8 campaign, the striker is expected back in South Africa this week to resolve his future.
