Sundowns’ Andile Jali wanted by Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs – REPORTS

Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Andile Jali is linked with a move away from Chloorkop as the likes of Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates want him.

The former Pirates midfielder, Jali, will see his contract coming to an end in June next year – this means he is open to signing a pre-contract with a club of his choice.

However, his agent Mike Makaab of ProSport International said his client has not received any offers and they will sit down with the reigning DStv Premiership champions, Sundowns.

There have been rumours in the South African football fraternity that Chiefs and Pirates are looking into snapping up the 32-year-old midfielder on a free transfer, but Makaab has dismissed reports, that there have been any talks.

“There have been rumours in the football media that a number of clubs have officially approached us regarding Andile Jali, that is not true at all,” Makaab told Gagasi FM.

“We are committed to sitting down with Mamelodi Sundowns and hopefully finding a solution for Andile.

“And if we can’t, then obviously we will look at other opportunities – it’s not only local opportunities that are interesting for us but also opportunities outside of the country.

“So, it will be interesting to see what happened in the next 30 days.”

The hard-tackling midfielder moved to Sundowns in 2018 under former coach Pitso Mosimane and has been one of the key players at Chloorkop since.

Also known as ‘Mhlekazi’, Jali has since made 134 appearances for the current Nedbank Cup winners totalling seven trophies since his arrival.

As the domestic campaign is currently on hold owing to the FIFA World Cup, Sundowns players might be on holiday but they will play one of their toughest matches at the end of this month.

Sundowns are at home to Pirates whom they meet at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on December 30 and Jali will be expected to be key for the Tshwane giants.
