Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile is actively closing in on a blockbuster move to Tunisian giants Esperance de Tunis, as the club prepares to sanction one of the most high-profile exits from the Premier Soccer League this transfer window.
Esperance close in on Shalulile coup
Sources at iDiski Times confirm that Esperance are finalising terms with Sundowns to secure the signature of the 31-year-old Namibian international, who left the Brazilians’ training camp this morning to prepare for his journey to Tunisia.
Shalulile’s potential departure would represent a major shake-up for Sundowns, as they look to recalibrate their squad following a dominant domestic campaign.
Shalulile set to follow Mokwana to Tunisia
If all goes according to plan, Shalulile will become the second Premier Soccer League star to join Esperance this season, after Elias Mokwana completed his move from Sekhukhune United earlier in the 2024/2025 campaign.
The duo’s arrival highlights Esperance’s aggressive strategy to recruit top talent from South Africa as they aim for continental glory.
PSL legend with a deadly track record
Shalulile, who also captains Namibia’s Brave Warriors, has notched up a remarkable 130 goals in 290 appearances across his time with Sundowns and Highlands Park. Cementing his legacy as one of the most lethal strikers in South African football.
His move to Tunisia not only ends a glittering chapter in the PSL. But also signals Esperance’s intent to dominate both domestically and in CAF competitions.
“Shalulile’s departure would leave big boots to fill at Chloorkop. And all eyes will now be on how Sundowns respond in the market,” the source said.
Should Mamelodi Sundowns let Shalulile go?
