Sundowns to lose Maseko after exploits?

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has provided the perfect platform for Thapelo Maseko to swing his club like a golfer in lighting up all the transfer possibilities on the horizon.

Maseko scored a goal of paramount value for Bafana Bafana on Thursday morning, which sealed the historic passage to the Last 32.

With the two games played at the World Cup, Maseko is now walking with pregnant transfer possibilities.

His transfer value will keep rising, and where he plays next season will be open for plenty discussion in the next couple of weeks.

Maseko arrived at the World Cup on the back of a loan spell with Cypriot club AEL Limassol, where he played 14 games during his short stay.

Prior to that, the first half of the season had been slow at Mamelodi Sundowns as he only played 130 minutes.

This accounted for a contribution of under 7% from all the minutes played by the Tshwane giants before he then left for the Mediterranean island country.

Regardless of the terms on the contract that currently tie him to The Brazilians, what he needs are minutes on the field, which have largely been a struggle.
