Lucas Ribeiro

Ribeiro has been in great for Sundowns, according to the tweet below:

Sundowns and local fans highly regard Ribeiro after an impressive start to his life at the Pretoria club he joined in 2023.

Former club SK Beveren are reportedly keen to take the Brazilian back to Belgium, while Burnley has also sent scouts to assess the in-form Masandawana attacker.

Khuliso Mudau

The wingback has attracted interest from several clubs overseas, including English sides Burnley FC and Leeds United, where Bafana Bafana legend Lucas Radebe made his name.

Mudau has scored six goals since joining Masandawana in 2020 and is a regular in the Bafana Bafana side, with one international goal.

Iqraam Rayners

Despite only joining Sundowns at the start of the 2024/20254 season, the former Stellenbosch FC striker has been linked with a move to Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers.

Rangers’ interest in the striker was reportedly present before he moved to Masandawana, while the Bafana Bafana star has been in fine form this season, scoring eight goals.

Teboho Mokoena

After impressive displays for Sundowns, which earned him numerous player awards, the Bafana midfielder was constantly linked with clubs in Europe and Asia.

Despite the overseas interest, Mokoena has remained committed to Sundowns by signing a new deal at the start of the current season.

Ronwen Williams

The Bafana skipper is another player who extended his stay at Sundowns, but the 32-year-old still dreams of playing overseas.

After gaining international recognition at the FIFA Ballon d’Or Awards, suitors will keep an eye on Williams, although Sundowns’ participation at the Club World Cup is an incentive to stay.
