Sundowns use financial muscle to spoil Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates party
Mamelodi Sundowns are known for their aggressive pursuit of top talent, and it looks like they are ready to shake up the transfer market once again.
The latest target in their sights is none other than Sekhukhune United winger Eilas Mokwana, a player who has been on the radar of both Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates for some time now.
Mokwana has been in scintillating form this season, catching the eye of not only fans but also national team selectors.
His performances have earned him a call-up to the Bafana Bafana squad, a testament to his talent and potential.
With a market value of R35 Million, it comes as no surprise that top clubs are circling around the talented winger.
Chiefs and Pirates have long been linked with Mokwana, with the player himself expressing his admiration for both clubs.
However, it seems like Sundowns are now in pole position to secure his services.
The Brazilians are reportedly preparing a blockbuster move for the winger, with coach Lehlohonolo Seema keen on adding him to his squad.
It remains to be seen whether Mokwana’s affinity for the Soweto giants will be a stumbling block in negotiations with Sundowns.
However, the Brazilians have shown time and time again that they have the financial muscle and pulling power to secure top targets, regardless of competition.
If Sundowns are successful in hijacking Mokwana from under the noses of Chiefs and Pirates, it could spell trouble for their rivals.
The Brazilians have a track record of dominating domestic football, and adding a player of Mokwana’s caliber to their squad would only strengthen their title credentials.
