Mamelodi Sundowns, a well-known South African football club, is preparing to say goodbye to one of their academy graduates, Cassius Mailula, who is on the verge of signing with Major League Soccer (MLS) team Toronto FC. The announcement follows Sundowns’ confirmation of ongoing talks with a North American club, which turned out to be Toronto.

A Breakthrough Season for Mailula

The 21-year-old rising star had a breakthrough season in 2022/23, achieving remarkable success both as an individual and with his team. He emerged as a DStv Premiership title winner and earned the title of Bafana Bafana International at a young age. Mailula’s exceptional performance on the field, with nine goals and three assists in 18 league games, made him a formidable opponent.

European Prospect Rumors

Mailula’s impressive form did not go unnoticed by European clubs. There were rumors earlier this year that an unidentified French Ligue 1 side was keeping an eye on him. Sundowns’ head coach Rulani Mokwena brushed off these claims, but reports resurfaced towards the end of the season, with Monaco emerging as a potential suitor for Mailula. However, these European prospects did not materialize.

Excitement to Face Lionel Messi

In joining Toronto FC, Mailula will have the opportunity to compete against Lionel Messi‘s Inter Miami, both teams being part of the MLS Eastern Conference. Mailula expressed his excitement in a recent interview with KickOff.com, saying, “Yeah man, I think it would be a big dream come true for me to play against stars such as Messi, I am very happy, and I cannot wait to get started. I can’t wait to play against Messi, and hopefully, it happens soon.”

A Significant Milestone in Mailula’s Career

Mailula’s move to Toronto FC is a significant milestone in the young player’s career and an exciting development for the MLS. As the transfer deal nears completion, fans eagerly await the opportunity to witness Mailula’s talent on the world stage. His passion for the sport, coupled with his undeniable skill, will undoubtedly make him a valuable addition to Toronto FC’s roster.

The World of Football Watches Mailula’s Progress

As a young player with much potential, Mailula’s progress in the MLS will undoubtedly be closely monitored by the world of football. He will undoubtedly carry the hopes of his country and the support from Mamelodi Sundowns fans as he starts his new chapter in the MLS. While the deal’s finalization is imminent, football enthusiasts can only speculate on the impact Mailula will have in the MLS and the potential growth of his career.
