Cape Town City’s enforcer Keanu Cupido is having a season to remember, helping keep Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates at bay in back-to-back victories.
The former Ligue 2 defender has Mamelodi Sundowns after his signature, and according to SABC Sport, Cupido is keen on a move to the reigning champions. Both clubs are said to be in serious negotiations.
The Brazilians will have to buy the Soweto-born star outright, who has two years left on his contract with the Mother City outfit.
Sundowns to sell Zwane?
Amid Cupido links, Mamelodi Sundowns will ponder the future of club legend Themba Zwane.
The 35-year-old has five months left on his contract – Kaizer Chiefs are monitoring the situation.
“Kaizer Chiefs could be watching the situation of a Mamelodi Sundowns star [Themba Zwane] with an interested eye,” KickOff reported.
“This as has been the Soweto giants’ tradition with out-of-contract players at Chloorkop in recent years. Even though Chiefs appeared not to have planned it, it came as no surprise when they signed Gaston Sirino. This after his contract lapsed at Sundowns at the end of June 2024.
“Amakhosi may also not be able to resist the temptation of having the opportunity to sign Themba Zwane, whose contract is left with only five months. With Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos still rating the 35-year-old, it would not be a shock for Chiefs to lure the Tembisa-born man to Naturena,” they added.
“He would be following in the footsteps of the likes of Josta Dladla, Katlego Mphela, Leonardo Castro, Khama Billiat, Ramahlwe Mphahlele, and recently Sirino, who all joined Chiefs from Sundowns as free agents.”
