Mamelodi Sundowns have offered Matias Esquivel to Argentinian club Instituto ACC, Foot Africa has established.

The 26-year-old forward arrived at Chloorkop in January 2024 from Lanus, in a reported deal worth in the region of € 2.30 million (R44 million).

However, the move failed to pay dividends for both parties as Esquivel was shipped out on loan to CA Talleres of Argentina eight months later.

He returned to Sundowns in January 2025, before another loan move to Greece Super League outfit AE Kifisias was sanctioned in August.

Esquivel's loan spell in Greece was cut short as the Greek club opted to terminate the player's contract, paving yet another return to the Tshwane giants.

Now, sources have indicated that the diminutive attacker is not in head coach Miguel Cardoso's plans as he's deemed surplus to requirements.

Sundowns have tabled a season-long loan offer with an option to buy, in a bid to offload Esquivel to Instituto - but the Torneo Apertura club is yet to respond ahead of their league opener on Friday.

Esquivel is contracted to the Betway Premiership champions until June 2027, and he has made just 16 appearances with two goals and a solitary assist since joining the club.
