Cassius Mailula is reportedly set to move to the United States to play Major League Soccer next season, for an as yet undisclosed club.
The 22-year-old Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder was named the DStv Premiership Young Player of the Season following his performances in the 2022/23 league campaign.
He netted 15 goals across all competitions in what was his debut season in the South African top-flight.
Sundowns revealed they are in talks with a MLS side and released a statement this week.
The club reported: “Mamelodi Sundowns has been in discussions with a North American football club that expressed interest in acquiring the services of Cassius Mailula.
“Sundowns is proud of Cassius Mailula who joined the Mamelodi Sundowns Academy as a 13 year old and was developed and nurtured by the Sundowns coaches.
“Mamelodi Sundowns will make further announcements concerning Cassius Mailula in due course.”
