Tshwane giants Mamelodi Sundowns are said to have placed a whooping R75 million price tag on long-time serving striker Peter Shalulile who has reportedly drawn interest from clubs in the Middle East and North Africa.
The Namibian international joined the Brazilians in 2020 under the leadership of then-coach Pitso Mosimane and has since established himself as one of the squad's most pivotal players
He has been instrumental in Mamelodi Sundowns' league dominance in recent years, earning the prestigious PSL Golden Boot award twice. However, this season he has struggled to replicate the form that saw him become a household name in South African football.
The 31-year-old has scored one goal and provided one assist in 24 appearances across all competitions.
A source close to the situation has informed Soccer Laduma that Sundowns have set a hefty price tag of R75 million for any club interested in securing his services.
"This amount was reached after looking at what they paid to Highlands Park when they bought him in 2020. That time, it was believed to be around R30 million, and his value has been going up since then. That’s why they are valuing him at R75 million now,” the source told the publication.
“He is a top striker who gives you at least ten goals every season. What else would you ask for from such a striker?
The Source added the Betway Premiership are already working around the clock to find a suitable replacement.
“They are preparing for the future, as there is also interest in Iqraam Rayners from Europe. They can’t just fold their arms and wait. That’s why they are already looking at other strikers to fill the gap in case one or even both strikers leave,” the insider added.
