"We still don't know what decision the club will take as they still have to finalize a few things with Walters," an insider informs KickOff.
"But at the moment, as it stands, there is no contract yet. Everything will be confirmed once there is a contract.
"But I know for sure that both parties did have a chat, they want him for their development structures. Remember, his passion at the moment is in development.
"He develops and nurtures goalkeepers. One of his goalkeepers recently got the Engen Goalkeeper of the Tournament in Johannesburg.
"Also, his U15 goalkeeper got the Goalkeeper of the Tournament [award] in the Siphiwe Tshabalala Foundation Tournament.
"Walters is very passionate when it comes to goalkeeping, and that's what has attracted Mamelodi Sundowns to him.
"So, Sundowns did enquire about his availability, but both parties have kept this a secret until something concrete is on the table.
