Sundowns Confirm Fourth Signing

Mamelodi Sundowns have strengthened their midfield with the exciting acquisition of Miguel Reisinho, as confirmed by head coach Miguel Cardoso.

The 26-year-old, who previously played for Boavista, arrives on a free transfer. This move is a strategic one, as his free-agent status allows the club to register him outside the official transfer window.

Reisinho joins his countryman Nuno Santos, who recently debuted, marking them as two key signings for Masandawana. Cardoso admitted that securing these players was a challenging process, but he believes they will be valuable additions to the team's ambitions.

“I think in the next one or two days, he will [be] unveiled, we tried to reinforce the team, it was clear that we needed to reinforce the team in front and it was hard work, tough, until the last moment [of the window],” Cardoso said.

“These kinds of players, which such quality, it’s not easy [to sign], and by the history, there’s not much history of players coming from Europe from such level, entering South Africa – even the African market. So the business was difficult.

“Let’s see if we can finalise, I think everything is in order to allow us to announce him, and together with Nuno and with the players we have, we had, and the ones who went to the [U20 World Cup], when we have the whole group we will be stronger…”

He continued, “As you understand in the beginning of the season, Sundowns always struggled in terms of changes, substitutions, it was always difficult to enforce the team from the benh, and I think now we will be in a more comfortable position, after having the whole group together of the World Cup, with the return of the five players who went – we’ll be in a comfortable position to develop and to face the season,” he added.

“It;s a pity that many months passed and games were played, but this kind of business is very difficult to make quickly and probably at the beginning of this market it would have been impossible to bring those players, but sometimes the market bring opportunities and we were pretty lucky, with hard work from the club, and efforts to reinforce the team and become stronger.”
