The 20-year-old player is high on the Russian club's wanted list after impressing the coaches during a recent trial stint.
Mamelodi Sundowns confirmed to KickOff.com that they have received an offer for the promising young defender and will be weighing up their options before responding to the Russians.
"At this stage it would be premature to say that we have reached an agreement with the club regarding Xulu," Sundowns spokesperson Kabelo Mosito says.
"I will not get into any figures related to the deal. The process is ongoing and the club will issue a statement when the time is appropriate," he adds.
Xulu's representative Paul Mitchel describes the negotiations as "promising" and remains confident the player will play in Europe this season.
A source at the club says Sundowns Patrice Motsepe is seriously considering the "good offer" from FC Rostov.
With the Brazilians having signed two defenders – Alje Schut from FC Utrecht and Wayne Arendse from relegated side Santos – Xulu is likely to be given the green light to sign with the Russian club.

Khosi till Myeni can dribble past Gaxa
At least u even get called up for trials... Unlike some so called PSL Galaxy stars who were playing skop & donner diski. As usual, till the 96th minute when a fat elbow intervened for them; their players don't even get a call up, all we here are just rumours that amount to nothing every season!!
#small teams export their players to china... not europe!!

Black & Gold, until Lekgwathi admits the reason he has no contract is because he cant read it!
It will be a waste if he stays on just to milk you for parading your 9 strikers.

Booth made it there from Chockers, Sibaya made it from Cowsmos, Bhele made it from Zebras so why cant this super-talented un-aging guy not make it?Just saying.
Good luck for the upteenth time. I've lost count on how many times I said "goodbye" to someone next door, 'till I figured he doesnt need luck. He fails by default.
Again, just saying.
If so then i dont see him(Xulu) even sitting on the grandstand in Russia
"KHOSI UNTIL JUJU LEARN TO KEEP THE BALL CENTIMETERS BELOW THE CROSSBAR OR ATLEAST FORCE A SAVE."
