‘Shuga’ is currently in the last year of his contract at Masandawana, and there has been talk that he could leave the club, but Mosimane was defiant on Tuesday night just after Mabunda had helped the Brazilians win 2-0 at Bidvest Wits.
“Shuga will stay, Shuga wants to talk, he want to discuss terms,” said the Sundowns coach.
“Which team does he want to play for? He can choose to go to another team, but he is clever enough to know that if he stays here and plays for us he has the Champions League to play next year, and we are fighting to play in the Champions League again (in 2019). We can give him a position in Bafana, so do you want to leave that team?”
