Euro Linked Allende In Contention To Win Player of the Season
Despite their headline-grabbing attacking line, Marcelo Allende has earned some recognition as he continues to be to knit Mamelodi Sundowns’ play together — a contribution that has earned him a nomination for Soccer Player of the Season.

Since signing for Masandawana in 2022, the Chilean has mesmerised South African audiences across the country.
While his goalscoring record for Ka Bo Yellow has not been prolific — netting two goals in each of his three topflight seasons — the diminutive playmaker has shown his class by linking defence and attack. He controls matches with his intricate passing and his ability to retain possession in tight, high-pressure situations.
The 2024/25 campaign has been no different for the Pudahuel native. This season in the Betway Premiership, Allende’s passing has been at its most accurate since his arrival in South Africa.

According to SofaScore, the 26-year-old has a passing accuracy of 91.3%, a one percent improvement on last season. He has also increased his passing volume, completing 1,029 passes so far this campaign — 67 more than he managed during Rulani Mokwena’s final season in charge.
His performance against Marumo Gallants at the Dr Rantlai Petrus Stadium was a standout moment, kickstarting a three-game run in which he combined his midfield acumen with direct goal involvement. He scored against Gallants, before registering assists in the following two matches against TS Galaxy and Sekhukhune United.

Al Ahly’s Manager Shortlist ‘Revealed’
The Al Ahly board have reportedly drawn up a shortlist of managers in their bid to find a permanent replacement for Marcel Koller.

The Egyptian giants had targeted ex-Dortmund manager Marco Rose as the successor to Marcel Koller but talks had reportedly broken down over salary compensation.
Egyptian publication Tawasul reported that Mahmoud El Khatib, the club’s board of directors chairman, has nominations from several managers but the club has set one condition for the new manager.
According to Tawasul outlet, an Al Ahly source revealed that only German, Portuguese, and Swiss coaches were reportedly considered for the role and the club is currently negotiating with five managers from these nationalities.
Among the candidates to be shortlisted include Portuguese coaches Helio Sousa and Jose Gomes, while Croatian-German coach Kosta Runjacic was also considered.
Youm7 reported that Al Ahly officials had reportedly entered into talks with Sousa, who previously led the Bahrain national team.
Meanwhile, Sport El-Watan reported that Gomes, currently in charge of Saudi side Al Fateh, was also considered to take over at the Red Giant before the FIFA Club World Cup with the club reportedly in talks with the manager’s agent.
“There has never been any communication between Gomez and Al Ahly officials, but Nuno Gomes, the famous Portuguese agent, and friend of Jose Gomes, is in constant contact with Al Ahly officials and wants to complete the deal to bring the coach to the club,” journalist Amir Hisham said.

Al-Mashad reported that Al Ahly’s management has also entered talks with Runjacic, Udinese’s head coach, and despite the coach’s reported interest, the salary remains the only constraint.

European Scouts Circle Sundowns For SA Starlet
A young defender who has struggled for regular game time at one of South Africa’s biggest clubs is surprisingly drawing attention from European suitors, with scouts reportedly monitoring his progress despite limited first-team opportunities.
The talented youngster, currently representing South Africa at youth international level, has caught the eye of overseas scouts even though he finds himself behind established players in the pecking order at Mamelodi Sundowns.
READ: Mayele To Pirates Talks Gathering Pace
Insiders close to both the player, Asekho Tiwani and the club have indicated that there have been enquiries regarding the left back who joined the club at the start of the season.
These insiders added that Tiwani has apparently attracted interest from a club in France’s second division who have been following his progress both at club and national team level.
“It’s not the first time he has this interest. Sundowns signed him from Sekhukhune United because there was other interest from Europe but Sundowns moved in fast. Now it’s believed one of those clubs have reignited that interest. Apparently it’s a club from France. They are still working on logistics and it’s hard to say which club it is at the moment but the interest is there,” the source told the Siya crew.
A second source very close to both the player and the club has indicated that the injury he suffered while with the Under-20 national team in Egypt could disturb his immediate progress.

“Yes, it’s believed that’s it’s not a serious injury and that he could only be out for about three weeks but that could disturb his progress as the scouts were following him even in Egypt. But it’s not a train smash. He is a great player still, young and his future is bright. The interest is there and I don’t think they can stop just because of this,” the second insider revealed.
Tiwani was signed by Sundowns at the start of the current season from Sekhukhune United where he had played many games. At Sundowns the 19-year-old is facing competition from experienced players in Divine Lunga and Aubrey Modiba and he has only featured in some matches so far this season.

This developing situation highlights the growing international visibility of South African talent, even for players not consistently featuring at club level. For Tiwani, the European interest represents both validation of his potential and a possible pathway to regular first-team football. Sundowns now face a delicate balancing act – nurturing a promising talent with significant transfer value while managing a squad packed with established stars.
With the summer transfer window approaching, the coming weeks could prove decisive for the young defender’s future, as both the French club and potentially other European suitors weigh up a formal approach for one of South Africa’s most promising defensive prospects.

Nedbank Cup Hero Could Move To TS Galaxy
A Soweto giant could be set to lose an attacking talent, with reports suggesting a move to a PSL club is on the horizon for the player who hasn’t featured at all in this campaign.
Zakhele Lepasa, once a key figure for both club and country, appears to be heading for a reunion with a team where he had previously enjoyed cup glory.
READ: Mayele To Pirates Talks Gathering Pace
As previously reported by Soccer Laduma, there are several teams interested in Lepasa but now insiders close to the club have indicated that TS Galaxy could be his destination for next season.
“It’s hard to say if he is staying at the club next season and that’s why there has been interest from different clubs and now it’s believed that TS Galaxy could be his next destination. You know he has been there before and this could be an emotional return. But apparently they will be facing tough competition from other PSL clubs who are also believed to have shown interest in him,” the insider told the Siya crew.
Meanwhile a second source further stated that Pirates are looking at releasing strikers to bring in new signings before they leave for pre-season in July.
“The thing is Lepasa may not be the only one leaving as the club is believed to be opening up space for new signings and Zakhele Lepasa and Boitumelo Radiopane could be some of the players leaving and Lepasa could be heading to TS Galaxy,” the second source stated.
Despite playing many games last season and being part of Bafana Bafana, the 28-year-old is yet to play a match this season as he took time to recover from an injury.
In the 2018/19 season he was on loan at Galaxy where he helped them win the Nedbank Cup, when he scored the winner against Kaizer Chiefs.
READ: Insiders: Ranga’s Name Is On The List
Soccer Laduma contacted Galaxy and Pirates for comment but there was no response at the time of publishing this story.
This potential move represents a poignant full-circle moment for Lepasa, who could return to where he once enjoyed a great career highlight. For TS Galaxy, acquiring a striker with national team experience could significantly bolster their attacking options, while Pirates appear ready to refresh their forward line ahead of next season.
The coming weeks will likely bring clarity to Lepasa’s future, with his potential departure marking the end of a frustrating chapter that saw him sidelined for an entire season. As Pirates prepare for what could be a substantial squad overhaul, this transfer saga might be just the first of several player movements at the Soweto giants this winter.

Kimvuidi’s Future After Statement Display
Following growing speculation over a potential exit from Orlando Pirates, Karim Kimvuidi has delivered a timely reminder of his quality – and those within the club are now encouraging him to stay and fight for his place.
The Congolese attacker played a starring role in Pirates’ 2-1 Betway Premiership win over Golden Arrows at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Tuesday night.

It was Kimvuidi’s first competitive appearance since February, and he seized the moment with an inspired performance that earned him the Man-of-the-Match accolade.
In a post-match interview, the 23-year-old acknowledged the long wait for another opportunity and expressed his gratitude to the technical staff for the chance to contribute.
He also credited his teammates for their support in what he described as a tough, high-stakes encounter, emphasising the importance of the team’s victory over his individual achievement.
Having joined Pirates in 2023 from Maritzburg United (now rebranded as Durban City), Kimvuidi still has time left on his contract, and insiders say the player has no intention of forcing a move away – despite frustration over limited minutes.
“It was all about frustration due to his lack of regular game time that there has been talk of him leaving,” a source close to the player told the Siya crew.

“He’s never tried to force that, and what I can tell you is that he is a disciplined boy who is just so confident in his talent and that he can fight for a place at the club. He’s been encouraged to keep working hard and aim for consistency to cement his place in the starting line-up next season.”
With renewed confidence and growing support internally, Kimvuidi may yet play a more central role for the Soweto giants going forward.

Kabini Makes Vital Contribution In Molde Win
South African defender Samukelo Kabini made a vital contribution in Molde Fk’s impressive cup win on Wednesday evening.

The former TS Galaxy defender followed up his first start for Molde with a second consecutive start in the Norwegian Cup and he registered his first goal contribution for the side.
Molde ran out 4-0 winners over Rana FC and Kabini played a crucial role as he set up the first goal of the game for Norwegian midfielder Eirik Hestad, according to Sofascore.
It was the 21-year-old’s first assist for the five-time league champions as he played the full 90 minutes in another cup game.
<a href=https://www.soccerladuma.co.za/local/player-of-the-season/it-s-the-top-16-vote-for-your-soccer-laduma-player-of-the-season-24-25-powered-by-hollywoodbets-stan-1><img src=https://cdn.soccerladuma.co.za/InlineNews/501291/9cdbb43b-735b-4ab9-9e99-135211182877.jpg alt=”Girl in a jacket” width=”160″ height=”34″ /></a>
Molde had another African star to thank after the game after Ghanaian striker Jalal Abdullai netted twice in a 30-minute cameo.
The striker was substituted into the game shortly before half-time and scored twice within the first 10 minutes of the second half before he was withdrawn after 75 minutes.
The 2022 Norwegian champions added a final goal in the 87th minute to advance to the Norwegian Cup fourth round.
The club will now face Kristiansund in the fourth round but the club may be forced to reschedule the fixtures.

“The fourth round is currently scheduled for Wednesday 21 May, but there may be changes. Kristiansund will also be at Aker Stadion in the magnificent May 16 match. This means the teams will meet twice in just one week.”

Beckham and Neville part of new ownership group at English soccer club Salford
SALFORD, England — David Beckham and Gary Neville are part of a new consortium to have taken ownership of English fourth-tier soccer club Salford City.
The club was previously owned by Beckham, Neville and other former Manchester United teammates in its so-called “Class of ‘92” — Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Phil Neville — along with Singapore businessman Peter Lim.
A new ownership group, containing Beckham, Gary Neville and other shareholders from the United States, India and England, has bought Salford and have committed to “invest significantly in the club, the team and its facilities,” Salford said on Thursday.
Butt, Giggs, Scholes and Phil Neville are no longer shareholders but “will continue to contribute to the next step of this journey with roles in the club,” Salford said.
Beckham grew up in Salford and said he had “such fond memories of my time living there and the place and its people played such an important part in my early life in football.”
“Salford City is at the heart of its community … it has a rich history and I am delighted to be a part of the next chapter.”
Beckham also is a co-owner of Major League Soccer club Inter Miami.
Neville said the consortium contains “a diverse range of minds and expertise, held together by a love of football.”
“Football will come first, however it’s critical that we drive the club towards sustainability in the next four, five years,” Neville said. “I can’t wait for the next part of this journey.”
Salford finished in eighth place — outside the playoff spots — in League Two this season.
Beckham said he has been inspired by Wrexham’s rise through English soccer under the ownership of Hollywood celebrities Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney since 2021.
“I’m not saying this is why we’re doing it because it’s not,” Beckham told The Athletic in an interview. “But I’ve spoken to Ryan about it so many times now and he said the feeling around the city, the feeling around the club, is so exceptional. That’s the kind of thing that we want to create.”
Beckham added that the dream was to take Salford to the Premier League.
“But there’s a lot of hard work and a lot of investment to be done up until that point,” he said.
