Mamelodi Sundowns are expected to make a number of high profile signings at the end of the season with one of them already being a done deal.

Mamelodi Sundowns made a number of big signings at the beginning of the current campaign however it had a strong local flavour to it.

The Brazilians roped in some of the PSL’s top stars in Kermit Erasmus, Aubrey Modiba, Peter Shalulile, Rushine De Reuck, George Maluleka, Ricardo Goss, Lesedi Kapinga, Grant Margerman, Haashim Domingo, Mothobi Mvala, Khuliso Mudau and Gift Motupa.

The only player to join Mamelodi Sundowns that wasn’t from the PSL was Brian Onyango and he too is a former Maritzburg United defender.

Mamelodi Sundowns to sign a number of high profile internationals?

The defending league champions’ transfer business at the end of the current campaign is tipped to have an international flavour to it this time around.

Mamelodi Sundowns have already acquired the services of Slovakian hitman Pavol Safranko who comes with bags of European experience while another Al Ahly star is also on the club’s radar.

Al Ahly star Hussein El Shahat has revealed that the DStv Premiership giants have made him an offer to sign for the Chloorkop side next season.

Keagan Dolly has also been linked with a sensational return back to Masandawana while the Brazilians are reportedly also interested in re-signing Simba star man Luis Miquissone but they’ll have to cough up a salary of over R1.5 million a month for him.

It remains to be seen which international players the Brazilians are able to land but if anything is to go by, Mamelodi Sundowns’ attack in particular looks set to welcome some big name stars from abroad.

The introduction of international stars may very well mean the likes of Gaston Sirino and Bangaly Soumahoro could be leaving the club while Sundowns will have to fight hard to keep hold of star attacker Peter Shalulile.
