Ricardo Goss Secures Return to SuperSport United as Part of Strategic Player Swap with Mamelodi Sundowns in South Africa

In a strategic move aimed at securing consistent playing time and solidifying his position in the national team, Ricardo Goss is poised to make a comeback to SuperSport United.

After initially starting pre-season with Mamelodi Sundowns, the Bafana Bafana goalkeeper is eager to continue his impressive form on familiar turf.

Goss, a seasoned 30-year-old goalkeeper, spent the past two seasons on loan at SuperSport United, where he made a significant impact under coach Gavin Hunt, tallying over 50 appearances.

His stellar performances didn’t go unnoticed, earning him a call-up to the national team and a chance to represent South Africa in recent AFCON matches.

While Goss reported for pre-season with Sundowns last week, he was notably absent from their recent friendly match against Sekhukhune United.

However, negotiations between Sundowns and SuperSport United are in their final stages, marking Goss’s imminent return to Matsatsantsa.

Transfer Details and Player Swap

The impending transfer involves more than just Goss’s return.

SuperSport United’s Kegan Johannes is set to move to Sundowns, while right-back Nyiko Mobbie will head in the opposite direction as part of the swap deal.

These moves underline both clubs’ strategic reshuffling of their defensive units ahead of the new season.

For Goss, the decision to rejoin SuperSport United is driven by his ambition to secure regular playing time—a crucial factor in maintaining his form and competitiveness.

With AFCON qualifiers and the extended 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon, Goss’s return promises to bolster both club and country.

Nyiko Mobbie’s Move and Contract Details

In parallel with Goss’s transfer, Bafana fullback Nyiko Mobbie is also on the brink of joining SuperSport United permanently from Mamelodi Sundowns.

Despite several loan spells since 2019, Mobbie’s agent, Mike Makaab, confirms that negotiations are nearing completion, emphasizing the shift to a permanent move rather than another loan stint.

As these transfers unfold, the football community awaits further developments, including insights into other player movements and strategic adjustments across the league.
