Sundowns lead Pirates in race to sign City defender Matuludi
Orlando Pirates are also said to be interested in signing the Bafana Bafana right back.
Mamelodi Sundowns are reportedly leading the competition to sign Polokwane City defender Thabang Matuludi, according to a source. The Orlando Pirates are also showing interest in signing the talented right back, who is 27 years old. The source claims that Sundowns are determined to secure Matuludi due to their significant financial backing.
They view him as a potential long-term replacement for their senior defenders, Khuliso Mudau and Thapelo Morena, both in their thirties. While Pirates are ready to match Sundowns' offer, the source believes that Sundowns' unlimited budget will ultimately allow them to outbid the Pirates. Kaizer Chiefs are also reportedly interested in signing Matuludi, but they have yet to present an offer for him.
