French giants revealed that want Mamelodi Sundowns starlet.

The Sundowns’ rising star Malibongwe Khoza is attracting serious interest from European clubs. This publication can now confirm that French Ligue 1 side Stade Rennes is closely monitoring the young defender, who celebrated his 21st birthday on Sunday.

Exceptional form catches Euro attention

Khoza’s impressive performances for Betway Premiership leaders Mamelodi Sundowns have not gone unnoticed. A well-placed source has confirmed that Rennes scouts have been tracking the South African defender’s progress for some time.

“Rennes representatives and scouts have been monitoring Mali’s (Khoza’s) progress as they have watched most of his games and they are happy with him. It’s believed that they want to assess him in their own environment and see what he can do. Though they are happy with the potential they have seen in him,” the source stated.

Potential move to france after FIFA Club World Cup

If Khoza makes the move to France, it will likely happen at the end of the season, after Mamelodi Sundowns conclude their FIFA Club World Cup campaign in the USA this July.

“The club won’t stand in the way of the player if that chance comes but the only thing is that they would request that he can go for an assessment in July after the FIFA Club World Cup. But yes, the interest is there and it’s promising as long as he can go there and prove that he can do it,” the source revealed.

Sundowns star on the rise

Khoza quickly transitioned from the youth ranks to Mamelodi Sundowns’ senior team. Proving his talent and earning a regular spot in the starting line up. Week after week, he has delivered commanding performances, solidifying his role as a dependable figure in the team’s defensive setup.

His ability to read the game, intercept crucial passes, and maintain composure under pressure has set him apart as one of South Africa’s most promising young defenders. With each game, he has showcased remarkable consistency, drawing increasing interest from European clubs.

Among them, Rennes has shown the strongest intent. Closely monitoring his progress as they consider him a potential addition to their squad. His growing reputation as a future star has placed him on the radar of top scouts. Making his next career move a highly anticipated development.
