Pitso Mosimane is set to become the new Bafana Bafana coach!
Mamelodi Sundowns are reportedly in promising negotiations to sign Argentine defensive midfielder Mateo Tanlongo from Sporting CP, according to journalist Micky Jr.
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.
