Sundowns, Chiefs or Pirates? Mailula responds: ‘I love Sundowns’

Former Mamelodi Sundowns attacker Cassius Mailula has responded to questions as to whether he would consider returning to the PSL.

Mailula is currently on the books for US-based outfit Toronto FC who he joined from Sundowns over a year ago.

However, the young attacker was loaned out to Moroccan giants Wydad Athletic Club to get more game time.

He shone for Wydad at the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup where he even scored but his efforts were not enough as they crashed out in the group stage.

Now, it’s back to reality for Mailula after leaving Wydad as he heads back to Toronto FC where he is not guaranteed game time.

In an interview with Andile Ncube on Metro FM, Mailula admitted that he still has the ambition to play abroad, and eventually in a bigger European league.

And asked whether or not coming back to the PSL is a possibility, the 24-year-old said, for now his focus is on playing abroad.

But should there be an opportunity to return home, Mailula would consider it provided the offer is right.

A move to either Orlando Pirates or Kaizer Chiefs a possibility? Mailula was clear that his heart will always be with Sundowns if he were to return to the PSL.

MAILULA WOULD GIVE SUNDOWNS FIRST PREFERENCE

“I love Sundowns… I love Sundowns, Sundowns is home,” Mailula responded.

“I think even the president and the chairman knows, that is my first love. Before I can think of other things or teams, I’ll obviously start with Sundowns.

“And after that, if things don’t go well in terms of negotiations then I can think of other things. But for me, Sundowns is my home,” he added.

WHERE TO FROM HERE FOR THE YOUNG ATTACKER?
