In their chase of SuperSport United talisman, Mamelodi Sundowns have made significant strides.

Sundowns have presented an offer that fits SuperSport’s estimate of the player, but the crew understands that the finer elements of the transaction are still being worked out.

Given that Mbule signed a three-and-a-half-year contract extension with SuperSport in 2020, Matsatsantsa are unlikely to part with their prized possession on the cheap, with club CEO Stan Matthews previously stating that interested suitors would have to “come with big cheque books” if they were to land the prodigious talent

The Brazilians have been pursuing Mbule for a long time, and have tried unsuccessfully to persuade him away from SuperSport, their cross-town rivals.

Matsatsantsa was adamant about keeping hold of the 23-year-old, and they were determined about only selling him to a European suitor.

However, as the story unfolds, the newest information reaching the Siya team indicates that Sundowns and SuperSport are close to agreeing on a transfer fee for the playmaker.

Given that the two clubs are close to an agreement, a prospective deal will hinge on if the ‘Master Chef’ agrees on personal terms with Sundowns and is willing to go to Chloorkop.
