Peter Shalulile has officially parted ways with Mamelodi Sundowns, opting not to extend his contract with the reigning South African champions and making himself available on a free transfer.
The Namibian international, widely regarded as one of the most consistent and lethal strikers in African football, has brought an end to a highly successful chapter in his career.
His decision not to renew terms with the Pretoria-based club marks a significant shift in his professional journey and sets the stage for a potentially high-profile move elsewhere.
Shalulile, who has been instrumental in the club’s domestic dominance in recent seasons, leaves behind an impressive legacy. During his time at Sundowns, he established himself as a prolific goal scorer and a central figure in the club’s attacking setup.
His sharp finishing, tireless work ethic, and knack for finding the net earned him widespread admiration across the South African Premier Division.
The 30-year-old’s departure is expected to trigger substantial interest from clubs both within Africa and abroad. As a free agent, Shalulile presents an attractive proposition: a player with proven goal-scoring credentials, valuable experience on the continental stage, and the ability to make an immediate impact wherever he lands next.
His exit also represents a major loss for Mamelodi Sundowns, who will now be tasked with filling the void left by one of their most dependable performers.
Shalulile played a pivotal role in the team’s recent successes, contributing vital goals and consistently delivering in high-pressure situations.
For a side with lofty ambitions at both domestic and CAF Champions League levels, replacing a player of his calibre will be no small feat.
The striker’s future will undoubtedly be one of the most talked-about storylines of the current transfer window. With no contractual obligations tying him down, Shalulile is now in a position to carefully weigh his options and choose a new destination that aligns with his career goals and aspirations.
While speculation surrounding his next move is already beginning to circulate, the player himself has yet to confirm any details.
Whether he opts for a new challenge in another African league, explores opportunities in Europe or the Middle East, or returns to a familiar environment, one thing is certain: Peter Shalulile’s availability has added a new layer of intrigue to the summer transfer market.
The Namibian forward’s professional conduct and consistent performances have earned him a strong reputation across the continent.
As a leader on and off the pitch, his presence in any dressing room is likely to lift standards and bring valuable experience.
For now, Shalulile remains a free agent, weighing the next step in a career that has already seen him rise to prominence. Wherever he lands next, the eyes of African football will be watching closely.
