Two more players leave Mamelodi Sundowns to take the tally of the players that have left the club this transfer window to 18.
Since the end of the 2024-2025 season, the Brazilians’ hierarchy led by Chairman Thlopane Motsepe, Sporting Director Flemming Berg, and head coach Miguel Cardoso has been heavily involved in cutting down the club’s bloated squad.
After the release of Neo Maema, Matias Esquivel, and Thembinkosi Lorch took the number to 16, the club has parted ways with two more players.
Etiosa Godspower Ighodaro has joined arch-rivals, Kaizer Chiefs, on a free transfer after forcing the club’s hand to release him after the player threatened to take the club court.
The Nigerian striker leaves the Brazilians without playing a single competitive match for the club, having joined the club back in 2021.
Ighodaro is set to be followed out of the club by Ethiopian international Abubeker Nasir, who is set to join the Motsepe Foundation Championship side, University of Pretoria FC on a season-long loan deal.
Nasir has struggled to cement a place at Chloorkop due to inconsistent performances and persistent injuries that have seen him sidelined for the majority of his time at the club.
Players like Keagan Johannes and Terrence Mashego are likely to follow the duo of the club.
