According to close sources, a decision is yet to be made on the player’s future, with Wydad expected to confirm their position on the star closer to the end of the season.
“It’s true that Wydad does have an option on Cassius Mailula to sign him on a permanent deal. But it’s not something that they will rush into doing as there is still time. It’s a decision that’s likely to take place at the end of the season. Coach Rulani (Mokwena) would like to have him permanently at the club,” said the source.
