Sundowns transfer list: Three out, mass exodus expected

Mamelodi Sundowns are expected to beef up their squad immediately after returning from the FIFA Club World Cup tournament.

The Brazilians had to go to this global showpiece in the US without making any new signings.

Nonetheless, they have already let three players go without hesitation, and the first two were Sipho Mbule and Rivaldo Coetzee.

Mbule had returned earlier than expected from his loan spell with Sekhukhune United over alleged ill-discipline.

Coetzee, on the other hand, struggled for regular game time due to a number of factors, including injuries.

The third player released by Sundowns was none other than Lucas Suarez who came in highly rated in January.

The Argentine defender was on a six-month loan deal from Talleres de Córdoba with an option to purchase.

However, Suarez failed to adapt to the Sundowns style of play and was often beaten for pace by opposition strikers.

Now, a mass exodus of players is expected at Sundowns with coach Miguel Cardoso likely to bring in players of his choice.

Apart from those who were loaned out, the likes of Terrence Mashego, Matias Esquivel, Kobamelo Kodisang, Kegan Johannes, and Thapelo Maseko could leave Chloorkop.
