If the move materialises, the 30-year-old forward will become only the second Premier Soccer League player to ply his trade in Tunisia, following in the footsteps of Elias Mokwana.
The Brave Warriors captain boasts an impressive record in the PSL, having scored 130 goals in 290 appearances for both Highlands Park and Sundowns. He has won six trophies with the Tshwane giants and has claimed the prestigious Lesley Manyathela Golden Boot five times.
Shalulile’s steady rise
Since joining Mamelodi Sundowns in 2020, Peter Shalulile has been nothing short of sensational.
His relentless work ethic, sharp instincts in front of goal, and ability to deliver when it matters most have made him one of the most consistent and dangerous attackers in the PSL.
With his current tally of 127 goals, Shalulile's rise has been nothing short of remarkable.

Lucas Ribeiro another Sundowns star reportedly on his way out
Mamelodi Sundowns talisman Lucas Ribeiro is reportedly on the verge of leaving the club, just a year after making his debut for the reigning South African champions.
According to FARPost, Ribeiro left the club's pre-season training camp early on Saturday, as negotiations around a possible transfer reached an advanced stage.
Which clubs have been linked with Ribeiro?
The Brazilian forward is attracting strong interest from several clubs abroad, with sides in Qatar, Brazil, France, and Belgium reportedly eager to secure his services. His departure could be imminent as transfer talks continue to gather momentum.
Ribeiro has been a standout performer since his arrival at Chloorkop in 2023. In just one season, he scored 25 goals in 51 appearances across all competitions, playing a central role in Sundowns' domestic dominance.
His sensational strike at the FIFA Club World Cup was awarded Goal of the Tournament, and he scooped a whooping four awards at the PSL 2024-25 Awards gala held on Tuesday evening.
