Mamelodi Sundowns have been handed a critical assignment by their new head coach, Miguel Cardoso — secure the futures of several key players before it’s too late.
With the end of the season fast approaching, no fewer than seven first-team regulars are nearing the final stretch of their current contracts. And if Sundowns don’t act quickly, these players could walk away for free when their deals expire in June.
Despite having extension options available, it’s understood that the club has yet to activate any of them, leaving fans and players alike in limbo.
According to The Citizen, Cardoso has made it clear: the club must act fast. He’s reportedly urged management to tie down the likes of Marcelo Allende, Khuliso Mudau, Aubrey Modiba, Mothobi Mvala, Mosa Lebusa, Rivaldo Coetzee, and Jody February — all of whom are crucial to his vision for the team.
The pressure is now on Sundowns’ board to respond decisively and avoid a potential talent exodus that could disrupt their dominance in South African football.
