Mamelodi Sundowns has rekindled their interest in Orlando Pirates striker Tshegofatso Mabasa, despite their initial failed attempt to sign him at the start of the season. The Siya Crew has learned that Sundowns showed interest in Mabasa when they were facing a striking crisis, despite also considering other potential options such as Percy Tau, Khanyisa Mayo, Fagrie Lakay, and Lars Veldwijk. The financial troubles of the Orlando Pirates impacted Mabasa, who was originally set to return to his parent club.
However, Sundowns’ interest in him during their time of need has potentially changed the situation. While the Brazilians explored several options, it is understood that they were not willing to meet Pirates’ valuation of the player. This indicates that their renewed interest in Mabasa may present a potential challenge in securing his transfer.
