Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Miguel Reisinho is in talks over a potential early termination from his contract ahead of the 2026/27 season.

According to iDiski Times, the player is seeking regular first team minutes, and if not at Sundowns, he’s looking towards a new move for the upcoming season to reignite his career.

Reisinho joined alongside compatriot Nuno Santos, who fared much better since his arrival, starting in a more advanced midfield role, scoring five goals, with 11 assists in 36 games.

While he featured less than half, with 14 appearances across all competitions, scoring two goals, along with a solitary assist.

Williams to blame for first Mexico goal?

A panel of 2026 FIFA World Cup pundits have questioned whether Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams should shoulder some of the blame for the opening goal conceded against Mexico.

Speaking on CBS Golazo, former Major League Soccer star Ian Paul argued that the goalkeeper should never have put his teammate in such a difficult position.

“You’re the goalkeeper, you see the whole field in front of you, you have your defensive midfielder and you know what’s around that defensive midfielder,” Paul said.

“For that first goal in particular, he decided to pass it straight to his defensive midfielder and his defensive midfielder could not turn because he had a player in front of him, could not go to the left because he had a player there, could not go to the right because he had a player there.

“Now to me that’s ridiculous if there’s no communication because you can’t hear each other inside that stadium with 95 or whatever thousand fans inside, you can’t hear a thing.”

However, fellow pundit Michael Lahoud disagreed with Paul’s assessment and instead placed the responsibility on Yaya Sithole.

“But it’s not on the goalkeeper for me, Ian. It has to be on the midfielder,” Lahoud said.

“I was stopped by this and I was stopped by a manager who won the World Cup and he said as a defensive midfielder it is your job to demand the ball, to want the ball at the top of the box.

“That’s the whole reason why Sithole’s in there.”
