Mokoena's contract with Sundowns only expires in June next year.Mokoena’s contract with Sundowns only expires in June next year, but the Brazilians are reportedly not prepared to risk losing their prized asset for free when it expires and now they are looking to tie him down to a long term deal.
Mokoena is a subject of transfer speculation following his good displays for Bafana Bafana at the African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast earlier this year, where Hugo Broos’ side won a bronze after finishing third.SABC Sport reports that Sundowns sporting director Flemming Berg has been given the mandate to ensure the club does not lose their key players, ‘hence the decision to open talks to extend Mokoena’s current terms’.
The public broadcaster further reports that discussions have reached a deadlock and nothing has been finalised yet despite such discussions having commenced prior to the Afcon. Mokoena’s agent Glyn Binkin confirmed the talks with Sundowns over Mokoena’s future, but did not want to divulge more details around the negotiations.“Negotiations were at a very delicate stage currently and I would not want to prejudice such discussions at this moment,” Binkin is quoted as saying by the public broadcaster.It remains to be seen if the Brazilians will succeed in convincing Mokoena to sign a new deal or if the Bafana star will be sold.
