Veteran midfielder Themba Zwane facing uncertain future at South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns

South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns are reportedly dragging their feet to renew the contract of veteran midfielder Themba Zwane.

Zwane, whose contract expires at the end of the season has yet to sign a new deal with the club.

According to reports, Sundowns have paused negotiations for a new deal with Zwane, casting doubts about his future in the team.

Sundowns wants to ensure the 35-year midfielder is in good enough shape to perform at the highest level. This cautious approach marks a significant change from previous years when extending Zwane’s contract was a mere formality.

The 35-year-old midfielder’s future at Sundowns now hangs in the balance. He will become a free agent if both parties are unable to arrive at a deal.

Zwane has five appearances across competitions for Sundowns this season, providing just an assists across the period.

The experienced midfielder has almost spend his playing career at Sundowns. He has been playing for the club since 2011.
