According to a Briefly News source at Sundowns, the club could offload Zuko Mdunyelwa, Lesiba Nku and Erwin Saavedra while they hope to keep star attacker Lucas Ribeiro.

The source said:

“Like most cases, when a new coach comes in, they want to make changes, and the same can be said about Cardoso. He has identified which players he will build the squad around and will look to bring in new faces where he needs them. Of course, that means that players will leave, and the hope is that business can be done quickly so as not to disturb the squad and allow the players to adapt.”
