Mamelodi Sundowns to sign Thabo Cele here we go

Thabo Cele is reportedly on the verge of completing a major move to Mamelodi Sundowns, with negotiations between the two clubs now understood to have reached the final stage. The midfielder has attracted strong interest from the Brazilians, who are keen to secure his services on a permanent basis from Kaizer Chiefs.

Sources close to the situation indicate that Sundowns have made their intentions clear and are pushing to finalise the agreement as soon as possible. The proposed deal would see Cele leave Kaizer Chiefs permanently, bringing an end to his time with Amakhosi and opening a new chapter in his career with one of South Africa’s most ambitious clubs.

Cele has established himself as an important midfielder and his qualities have made him an attractive target for Sundowns. His energy, physical presence, ability to compete for possession and experience at the highest level are believed to be among the factors that have convinced the Pretoria-based club to pursue the transfer.

While there is still some final paperwork and formalities to be completed, the negotiations are reportedly progressing positively. Both parties are working towards reaching a full agreement, with the remaining details expected to be resolved before the transfer can officially be announced.

For Kaizer Chiefs supporters, Cele’s potential departure would represent a significant change, particularly if the club loses the midfielder to a direct domestic rival. For Sundowns, however, securing his signature would represent another statement of intent as they continue strengthening their squad and adding quality depth across key positions.

At this stage, the transfer is not yet officially completed, but the indications are increasingly positive. Cele is understood to be edging closer to becoming a Mamelodi Sundowns player, with the deal now described as being in its final stages.

If everything proceeds as expected and the final formalities are completed, the announcement could soon follow.

Here we go — Thabo Cele is closing in on Mamelodi Sundowns on a permanent deal from Kaizer Chiefs.
