Zamalek Show Interest in Mamelodi Sundowns Star Khuliso Mudau Amid New Contract Extension

Mamelodi Sundowns right-back Khuliso Mudau has emerged as a top transfer target for Egyptian giants Zamalek SC, with the Bafana Bafana international reportedly drawing strong interest from the North African club. Known for his explosive pace and defensive reliability, Mudau’s performances have sparked attention across the continent—especially from clubs competing in CAF’s elite competitions.

Sources close to the situation have revealed that Zamalek have been closely monitoring Mudau, eyeing a possible move during the current transfer window. “Zamalek have been made aware of Mudau’s situation and they like what they see. He is a player who’s been consistent and has the profile that would suit them,” a source shared.

At 30 years old, Mudau is in the prime of his career and has become a cornerstone of both Sundowns’ and Bafana Bafana’s backlines. Under the leadership of coach Miguel Cardoso, the full-back has thrived in domestic competitions and on the continental stage, gaining widespread acclaim for his consistency, tactical discipline, and high work rate.

Despite growing external interest, Sundowns have been proactive in securing Mudau’s services for the foreseeable future. After weeks of negotiation, the player is believed to have penned a two-year contract extension that ties him to the club until June 2027.

This move not only safeguards Sundowns’ interests but also strengthens their hand in any potential negotiations. Should Zamalek or any other club wish to sign the defender, they will now need to table a compelling financial offer—both for Sundowns and for Mudau himself.

The defender’s name has previously been linked with Tunisian heavyweights Esperance Sportive de Tunis, and there have been murmurs of potential European interest. His appearances in the CAF Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup have only added to his appeal.

Although no formal offer has been submitted by Zamalek at this stage, the interest is a testament to Mudau’s growing reputation beyond South Africa. For now, the ball is firmly in Sundowns’ court, and given their ambitions for the upcoming season, letting go of a key player like Mudau is unlikely without a serious bid.

As the transfer window unfolds, all eyes will be on whether the Egyptian outfit escalates their pursuit or whether Sundowns’ firm stance keeps their star man at Chloorkop.
