Battle of the titans for Chilean playmaker! Egyptian giants target Sundowns’ leader

Egyptian heavyweights Al Ahly and Pyramids are locked in an intense battle for Chilean playmaker Marcelo Allende of South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns.

Details: According to reputable outlet iDiski Times, representatives of the Cairo giants are closely monitoring the 27-year-old midfielder’s contract situation. The Chilean’s current deal with The Brazilians is nearing its end, giving him the right to officially negotiate and sign a pre-contract with overseas clubs from January as a free agent.

Allende’s exceptional vision, pinpoint passing and leadership qualities have made him one of the most sought-after players in the North African transfer market. Mamelodi Sundowns’ management are trying to keep hold of their South American star, but lucrative offers from Egypt could tempt the footballer to take on a new challenge in his career.

Marcelo Allende has represented Mamelodi Sundowns since the summer of 2022, when he joined from Uruguayan side Montevideo City Torque. Since then, he has won the South African league title multiple times and lifted the African Football League trophy.
