Khuliso Mudau has been linked with a move to Orlando Pirates, a move that would shake up their right back options. Mamelodi Sundowns defender Khuliso Mudau has been linked with what could prove to be the standout move of the current transfer window, with Orlando Pirates reportedly emerging as his potential destination — a switch that would place significant pressure on the club’s existing right-back options. Following the shock transfer that saw Monnapule Saleng cross the divide to join rivals Sundowns — a move with direct implications for what is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing league title races in recent memory — the potential arrival of Mudau at Pirates would raise the stakes even further.
Not only would he bring vast domestic and international experience, but he would also arrive with a reputation as one of the continent’s leading defenders. Mudau’s situation at Sundowns has been uncertain for some time. Earlier this season, the talented right-back missed the opening weeks of training amid a contractual dispute with the club, a standoff that only heightened speculation over his future.
Given that he had already been linked with a move away even before the campaign began, a transfer at this stage would not come as a major surprise. It eventually took the intervention of Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos for the 30-year-old to resume duties at Sundowns, underlining the seriousness of the situation and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his long-term future. While Pirates boast an exciting and well-balanced squad with solid options at right-back, Mudau’s arrival would undoubtedly elevate the position further. However, his potential signing would also give the club’s current incumbents plenty to think about as competition for places intensifies.
