Andile Jali’s long-term agent Mike Makaab has revealed how the ongoing
impasse over the player’s future at Mamelodi Sundowns has impacted the
midfielder. With just three months left on his contract, Jali’s future
remains uncertain as Mokwena refused to comment on the situation, stating
that an announcement will be made in due course.
Makaab expressed his desire to resolve the matter as soon as possible,
citing the unsettling effect it has had on Jali. The experienced
midfielder has not featured in any of Sundowns’ last three matches in the
CAF Champions League.
“There is interest, but I’m not prepared to do this in any other way other
than to put finality as to whether Mamelodi Sundowns is interested in him
going forward and if the answer is no, we’ll respect that and we’ll move
on,” Makaab said in an interview with Gagasi FM.
The agent revealed that interest from both local and international clubs
has been pouring in for Jali. He added that the most important thing is to
bring the situation to an end in the right way.
“If the answer is yes, hopefully we can sit down and come to some sort of
conclusion, because it’s unsettling for the player. He doesn’t know where
his future lies and that’s understandable. Any player of his calibre, when
his contract is coming to an end, will feel uncertain about their future
and the most important thing is to bring this to an end – which we’ll do
in the right way,” he concluded.
