Mamelodi Sundowns Bolster Squad with Key Signings and Departures as January Transfer Window Closes in South Africa

As the January transfer window in South Africa has officially closed, Mamelodi Sundowns has once again demonstrated their dominance in the league with some clever acquisitions and departures.

The Transfer Strategy: Adding and Releasing Players

While Mamelodi Sundowns usually don’t make a lot of mid-season moves, they certainly know how to secure the right players when they need to.

This transfer window was no exception, as they reinforced their squad with some key signings.

The club kicked things off by securing long-time target Jayden Adams from Stellenbosch FC.

Later, on the transfer deadline day, they added centre-back Keanu Cupido from Cape Town City.

Both players are expected to strengthen the team’s depth for the remainder of the season.

Additionally, South American defender Lucas Suarez was reportedly close to joining Sundowns on loan.

However, there has been no official confirmation from the club, leaving some uncertainty about whether the deal was finalized.

Who Left Sundowns During the Transfer Window?

While Sundowns worked to strengthen their squad, they also made room by parting ways with a few players who had struggled for game time.

Lesiba Nku was transferred to Stellenbosch FC on a permanent deal.

Meanwhile, Lebohang Maboe, Abubaker Nasir, and Rushine de Reuck were all loaned out.

Maboe and Nasir will continue their careers at SuperSport United, while De Reuck will spend the rest of the season at Israeli side Maccabi Petah Tikva.

What’s Next for Thembinkosi Lorch?

A potential transfer involving Thembinkosi Lorch remains in the air.

The 31-year-old forward has been heavily linked with a move to Wydad Athletic Club, though there has been no official announcement yet.

Sundowns’ Strong Position

Mamelodi Sundowns has been a dominant force in both domestic and continental football.

They currently sit at the top of the Betway Premiership and are through to the quarterfinals of the CAF Champions League.

With their new signings and strategic departures, the club is well-positioned to continue their success.
