Mamelodi Sundowns have a pearl. His name is Cassius Mailula. The attacking midfielder is running at full speed this season. What to attract the covetousness in Europe. And who knows, maybe a place will open up in the national team.
Cassius Mailula could be the future South African star of the next few years. The Mamelodi Sundowns player is splashing the 2022-2023 season with his talent. He has already scored 12 goals in all competitions. And in the South African league, he has 7 goals and 3 assists in only 11 games. In the CAF Champions League, he scored twice in the second day against Coton Sport. Performances that push clubs to position themselves on the 21-year-old player. Not in Africa, but in Europe.
The agent of Cassius Mailula revealed this to KickOff. "We have had some interest but nothing to report at the moment," he said first. He then added. "The interest is specifically from France. To be honest, we've had few inquiries from France. So, the interest comes from France, but unfortunately I'm not free to share the name of the club. That's because it's still sensitive (the issue). So, for the moment, that's all I can say."
Finally Bafana-Bafana?
"But the interest is there, and it comes from the Premier Division (Ligue 1) in France. It seems his name has popped up in more than one club there." While he is a big hit at club level, Cassius Mailula has yet to get a chance with the South African national team. He has not yet been selected for the Bafana Bafana team.
No doubt that his followers will closely scrutinize the next list of Hugo Broos in March, for the qualifying games for the 2023 AFCON. But no doubt that until then, Cassius Mailula will continue to fight to be in the national team. After all, when your name is Cassius in the world of sports, you must be a fighter, right?
