Shalulile himself has maintained that he would not play for any side other than Sundowns in South Africa but would only consider a move if it came from Europe.

The Citizen reports that the Brazilians have indeed been getting offers for the play from abroad but were not entertaining any of them.

A source who spoke to the publication said that Masandawana were turning a blind eye to offers and that Shalulile was happy at the club.

“How do you expect a club to entertain a team that will offer your best player almost the same amount that you are paying him? It might look attractive that a player is abroad but what good does it do when we pay him R10 and you want to pay him R13. Even when you convert it to Rands, it makes little difference,” the source said.

He added that Sundowns would be only willing to part with Shalulile if a solid offer came their way.

Al Ahly were previously said to be interested in the player when Pitso Mosimane was still in charge, KickOff reported at the time

Four South African players are in the running for a top Confederation of African Football (CAF) award.

Bandile Shandu, Thembinkosi Lorch, Peter Shalulile and Percy Tau have all been nominated for the CAF Interclub Player of the Year award.

Peter Shalulile was in devastating form in front of goal for Mamelodi Sundowns this season and while Masandawana were dumped out in the quarter-finals of the CAF Champions League, Shalulile was ever impressive.

Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile's goal-scoring exploits this season in the DStv Premiership have put him among the leading goal-getters on the planet.

As reported on Sports Brief, the Namibian has scored 22 times this season in the league and is three goals away from equalling the Premier Soccer League record of 25 set by Zambian Collins Mbesuma in the 2004/05 campaign.

Only three other players, Siyabonga Nomvethe (20 goals during the 2011/12 season), Pollen Ndlanya (21 in 1998/99) and Wilfred Mugeyi (22 in 1996/97) have breached the 20-goal mark in the PSL era.
