Mamelodi Sundowns attacker Sibusiso Vilakazi says he will not be going on holiday as he prepares for whatever may come his way ahead of the 2022/23
Mamelodi Sundowns attacker Sibusiso Vilakazi says he will not be going on holiday as he prepares for whatever may come his way ahead of the 2022/23 season.
Vilakazi's contract with Masandawana is due to expire at the end of June, but the former Bidvest Wits captain has an option in his deal to extend, with a decision yet to be made by the DStv Premiership champions.
The player's agent, Mike Makaab, had confirmed that Sundowns had a deadline of May 31 to decide on whether or not they want to exercise the option, but it appears that there are still talks, with an announcement likely to be made in the coming weeks.
"Right now, it's about fixing my body and preparing for the upcoming season. Personally, I am not going to be taking any vacation. There's nothing to celebrate. I celebrated with the team. So, from my side, it's about getting back to work as much as I can, to keep myself in a better shape, so that when the season starts and once everyting is concluded in terms of the team taking a decision, then I am ready," Vilakazi told the Siya crew.
"The team has a two-year option at the moment. They are still talking about that and what needs to happen. That I can't control. They are in control of that. I will be working out. No holiday for me."
Asked about the links to Kaizer Chiefs, the 32-year old said; "Honestly, I have not had talks with anybody because they also don't know what's happening. As soon as Sundowns release a statement, you can follow up with those questions."
