Maseko frustrated by his situation at Sundowns

Maseko frustrated by his situation at Sundowns

Mamelodi Sundowns winger Thapelo Maseko finds himself frustrated with his current situation at the club, according to a source. The South African footballer has been left feeling unhappy after Sundowns declined offers from Danish club FC Copenhagen and Egyptian teams Al-Ahly and Pyramids FC. Maseko was not part of coach Miguel Cardoso's plans for the upcoming season, which has left him feeling disappointed.

The player was reportedly forced to train alone despite the club's reluctance to accept external offers. Kaizer Chiefs have also shown interest in the talented Bafana Bafana winger, but have not yet made a formal bid for the player. While Kaizer Chiefs are monitoring the situation, there have been no discussions between Maseko and the club. Maseko is aware of Kaizer Chiefs' interest but respects Sundowns and will not speak negatively about the club.

Maseko, who joined Sundowns from SuperSport United in June 2023, played a vital role in the team that secured the African Football League title that year. He was subsequently loaned to Cypriot First Division side AEL Limassol for the remainder of the 2025/26 season, where he regained his form and secured a spot in the Bafana Bafana squad for the FIFA World Cup.
