Will Kaizer Chiefs revive interest in ex-transfer target Sipho Mbule? Agent confirms Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder's contract set to expire at the end of the season after impressive performance against Orlando Pirates

Sipho Mbule joined Sekhukhune United at the start of the current season on loan from Mamelodi Sundowns.

This was after he struggled for game time at Masandawana after arriving at Chloorkop on a three-year deal in 2022 on a high having been a top performer for SuperSport United.

He has now been enjoying some game time at Sekhukhune and his agent says he has the option of extending his Sundowns contract before his current deal expires in June.

"Sundowns have an option on Sipho’s contract," said Makaab when asked about the talented player's contract situation at the reigning PSL champions.

Mbule was a transfer target of Kaizer Chiefs before he joined Mamelodi Sundowns almost three years ago.

Amakhosi have been struggling for a reliable central midfielder and tried to fix that problem when they signed Thabo Cele in January.

However, Chiefs midfielder Yusuf Maart's contract is set to expire at the end of the current season.

With Mbule now enjoying regular football at Sekhukhune, it remains to be seen if that will attract coach Miguel Cardoso to have him next season as Sekhukhune defender Daniel Cardoso believes the player is good enough to play in Europe.

The former South Africa youth international will be hoping to continue enjoying some game time at Sekhukhune.

Having featured in 10 of their games so far this season, Mbule could be selected to start against former club SuperSport in a PSL match on Sunday.
