Mamelodi Sundowns Transfer News: Latest rumours, gossip and done deals

Published on by

Mamelodi Sundowns are known for their big spending in the transfer market and after winning the 2024-25 PSL title, they are expected to go big again for the 2025-26 campaign.

Sundowns won their eighth straight league title with a record 73 points, having won 24 of their 28 games, 12 points more than second-placed Orlando Pirates, in what was yet another dominant season.

The Brazilians also reached the CAF Champions League final, their first since 2016, but fell short when it mattered most, and will want to right those wrongs in 2025-26.

Sundowns have even more money now as besides their deep pockets, they have banked more from reaching the Champions League final and over $10 million from their FIFA Club World Cup participation which means more spending is expected in the transfer market.

So, what are the latest rumours, gossip and deals involving Mamelodi Sundowns?
