Lebohang Maboe is making waves again — not just with his boots but on the transfer radar of several Premier Soccer League (PSL) clubs. Currently on loan at SuperSport United from Mamelodi Sundowns, the 30-year-old midfielder is enjoying a career revival that’s putting him at the center of a looming transfer tug-of-war.
Since arriving at SuperSport in January, Maboe has emerged as a key figure in their battle to stay afloat in the Betway Premiership. His consistent, composed performances have brought both stability to the midfield and attention from rival clubs across the league.
Multiple Clubs Circle as June Window Nears
Sources close to the situation reveal that interest in Maboe predates his loan spell — but his recent performances have intensified the buzz.
“There’s always been interest in him, even before this loan move,” said a source. “SuperSport United would love to keep him, but it’s too early to talk specifics. What’s clear is, a lot of clubs are watching closely. It’s unlikely he’ll return to Sundowns.”
Sundowns Hold the Cards
Despite Maboe’s strong run at SuperSport, his future is still tied to his parent club. His contract with Mamelodi Sundowns only expires in June 2026, meaning any potential deal must go through the reigning champions.
“He still sees a future at Sundowns and is ready to fight for his place,” the source added. “But with his contract still running, the decision ultimately lies with Sundowns. Any formal interest will have to go through them.”
Key to SuperSport’s Survival Fight
Beyond the transfer drama, Maboe’s influence on the pitch has been crucial. With SuperSport United embroiled in a tense relegation battle, his experience and composure have been vital in keeping the club competitive.
Once a standout at Maritzburg United, Maboe’s leadership and tactical discipline have helped SuperSport navigate a tricky campaign. Whether he stays, returns, or moves elsewhere — one thing is certain: Lebohang Maboe is back in the spotlight.
