Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League champions Scottland FC have reportedly set their sights on Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of next season’s continental campaign.
As reported by FarPost, the ambitious Harare-based club has identified the Namibian international as one of its top transfer targets and has already made a lucrative offer to bring him to Zimbabwe.
Scottland FC reportedly tables R4.1 million offer
FarPost reports that Scottland FC have offered Shalulile a signing-on package worth R4.1 million (about US$250,000) in an attempt to lure him to Harare when his current contract expires.
The 31-year-old striker’s deal with Mamelodi Sundowns officially ends at the end of June, meaning he is free to negotiate with other clubs over his future.
Despite the reported offer, neither Scottland FC nor Mamelodi Sundowns has confirmed that negotiations are taking place.
Shalulile remains a key player at Sundowns
Shalulile has established himself as one of the Premier Soccer League’s most prolific goalscorers since joining Sundowns from Highlands Park in 2020.
He has played a crucial role in the Brazilians’ domestic dominance, helping the club win multiple league titles while consistently finishing among the league’s top scorers.
His experience, goalscoring ability and leadership make him one of the most valuable forwards in Southern African football, which could complicate any potential move despite Scottland’s reported financial package.
Shalulile’s move would be one of Zimbabwe’s biggest transfers
If Scottland FC succeed in signing Shalulile, the transfer would rank among the biggest in Zimbabwean football history.
The newly crowned league champions have shown their ambition in the transfer market and are eager to build a squad capable of competing in CAF inter-club competitions.
For now, however, the reported move remains speculative, with no official confirmation from either the player or the clubs involved.
