Reports now confirmed that the Betway Premiership defending champions have reached an agreement with Stellenbosch to sign the Bafana Bafana midfielder.

The Brazilians are now negotiating with the 23-year-old's camp over personal terms and could join the PSL giants this month.

The Maroons' Chief Executive Officer, Rob Benadie, has failed to confirm or provide full information about Adams' future, with reports claiming that he's moving to Chloorkop.

"There are potential player movement discussions like always during the windows, but out of respect for the parties involved and the early stages of the process, we cannot make any specific comments," he said.

Adams could be Miguel Cardoso's first signing as Mamelodi Sundowns coach this January and will help in their quest to retain their league title and do well in the CAF Champions League.

Reactions as Sundowns beat Chiefs, Pirates to Adams' signing

MELZY_BUCS said:

"He's going to play less than 10 games then eat bench in the 2nd second season, 3rd season he gets loaned to Amazulu."

"Okay let's be honest here ..... does Mamelodi Sundowns really needs this player ? Let us not use emotions.... if the answer is yes .... my second question will be ... where does he fits in?"
