Agent Mike Makaab has provided an update on the situation of Andile Jali
at Mamelodi Sundowns, with time running out before his contract expires in
June. Talks have been put on hold recently due to Sundowns’ busy schedule,
with the DStv Premiership champions flying out to Egypt this week for a
CAF Champions League clash against giants Al Ahly in Cairo. Makaab is set
to meet with Sundowns when they return from Egypt, as he looks to wrap up
talks for the experienced midfielder.
Makaab told the Siya crew: “Obviously, this has been a crazy period for
the team. As you know, they are on their way to Egypt. When they get back
next week, I am hoping to sit down with them and bring finality one way or
the other. All difficult deals take a long time. We are talking about a
serious football club and a serious football player. We are talking about
Andile’s future, not just a contract. Definitely, within the next week or
two. No longer (than that).”
Makaab also confirmed that there are no official offers on the table for
Jali, despite talk of AmaZulu and Cape Town City being interested in his
services. Jali, the reigning DStv Premiership Midfielder of the Season,
has made 15 appearances for the club in all competitions and is highly
valued by head coach Rulani Mokwena.
