There is increasing speculation of Mamelodi Sundowns finalizing contract extensions for midfielders Sipho Mbule and Aubrey Modiba, signaling the club’s bid to facilitate continuity within the team with new head coach Miguel Cardoso. Sipho Mbule: A Long-Term Commitment? Sipho Mbule has reportedly signed an extension to his contract that would keep him at Chloorkop until June 2026, with future extension an option. Since he came over from SuperSport United, Mbule has been gradually finding his place in the team, and this potential extension is a reflection of the club’s belief in his contribution to come. Aubrey Modiba: Versatility AppreciatedOn a similar note, Aubrey Modiba is said to be close to finalizing a contract extension with Sundowns. With his versatility operating on multiple positions on the left wing, Modiba’s return would add tactical flexibility to Coach Cardoso’s strategy. Strategic Aggression Under Miguel CardosoThe proposed contract renewals fit the vision of team owner Miguel Cardoso. Appointed in December 2024, Cardoso has been busy trying to put together a well-balanced team that is capable of competing on a number of fronts, including the CAF Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup. With the signing of Mbule and Modiba’s services, Sundowns seek to strengthen their midfield strength and guarantee the depth needed for a challenging season.
Note: Official confirmation from Mamelodi Sundowns regarding these contract renewals has not been received.
