Allende’s Sundowns future in doubt
His representatives are now expected to assess the market for potential opportunities.
Marcelo Allende's future at Mamelodi Sundowns hangs in the balance as his contract is set to expire at the end of the season. The 27-year-old Chilean midfielder has attracted interest from clubs across Africa and Europe, leaving his future uncertain. Allende has been a standout performer since joining Sundowns from Uruguay's Montevideo City Torque in a reported R50 million deal.
However, he has remained tight-lipped about his future when questioned. Sources suggest that Allende believes he should have been offered a new contract earlier, indicating frustration with the situation. With no new agreement in place, his representatives are expected to explore potential opportunities on the market. Despite Sundowns' recent successes, including winning the CAF Champions League, three league titles, the African Football League, and the FIFA African-Asian Pacific Cup, Allende's future remains unclear.
Brazilian clubs may still have a chance to convince Allende to extend his stay, but as his contract nears its end, the question of his continued presence at the club looms large. Phakaaathi will continue to monitor the situation as Sundowns decide whether they can retain one of their key players beyond this season.
