Lakay’s future at Sundowns had been hanging in the balance since the club’s interest in Terrence Mashego was confirmed.

Ironically, Lakay joined Sundowns from City in 2018, and this was on the back of the 12 months he spent with them following his arrival from Bloemfontein Celtic in 2017.

Lakay will leave Sundowns as a legend having won every trophy on offer with them, including four league titles, the Telkom Knockout Cup, Nedbank Cup and the MTN8 Cup.
