BREAKING: Sundowns in Talks to Sign Argentine Midfielder Mateo Tanlongo from Sporting CP

Mamelodi Sundowns are reportedly in promising negotiations to sign Argentine defensive midfielder Mateo Tanlongo from Sporting CP, according to journalist Micky Jr.


The 22-year-old, who has been with Sporting CP’s B side, made 10 appearances and scored once for the reserve team. Tanlongo is a defensive-minded midfielder known for his ball-winning ability and positional discipline — traits Sundowns have targeted to bolster their engine room ahead of the new season.

Sources close to the talks say discussions are “promising,” though no official agreement has yet been announced by either club. If completed, the move would mark another high-profile overseas addition to Sundowns’ squad as the club continues to blend domestic talent with international recruits.

What this means for Sundowns

- Tactical fit: Tanlongo’s defensive presence could provide cover for Sundowns’ creative midfielders and add more stability in transition.

- Competition: His arrival would increase depth in central midfield, offering manager more rotation options across domestic and continental fixtures.

- Strategic direction: Recruiting a young South American from Europe aligns with Sundowns’ recent trend of signing technically proficient, versatile players with resale potential.
