With the national team’s success and the growth of Sundowns both locally and on the continent, European interest was inevitable.

Khoza the latest
“He (Khoza) has done very well and has attracted interest from France. That club has enquired about him and they even sent their representatives to watch him during games. But they want to do their own assignment during the off season. That can only happen after the Club World Cup which ends in July. But this is a great chance for him to move to Europe while still young,” said one source
A second source is of the impression that Sundowns will not stand in Khoza’s way of a potential move.
“If you look at how Sundowns have signed their defenders they are prepared for any eventuality including Mali (Khoza) moving to France. They have the right replacements mainly in the central defensive areas. They are willing to see their players grow and if all goes well for him it’s believed he has the club’s blessings,” said the source.
Should Masandawana sell him to France?
Should Sundowns decide to sell Khoza, they will still be well stocked at centre-back. The likes of Mothobi Mvala, Grant Kekana, Lucas Suarez, Keanu Cupido, Mosa Lebusa and Rivaldo Coetzee to mention a few. Would selling the youngster be a good move for the Brazilians?
