Brayan León Breaks Silence After High Profile Move to Mamelodi Sundowns

One of Mamelodi Sundowns’ January signings, Brayan León, has spoken publicly for the first time following his move to the club. His arrival has drawn attention due to a reported transfer fee that has raised expectations ahead of the season’s resumption. Sundowns confirmed on Monday that the Colombian striker was signed to strengthen the attack as the club pushes to defend the league title and improve on last season’s CAF Champions League runners-up finish.

León joins Sundowns after an impressive campaign with Independiente Medellin in Colombia. The 25-year-old registered 13 goals and 11 assists across all competitions last season. His output highlighted both his scoring ability and creative contribution. He has signed a three-year contract with an option to extend for a further year, underlining the club’s long-term plans for him.

Speaking to club media, León made it clear that success was central to his decision. He described Sundowns as the most successful club and said he was motivated by the challenge of competing for major honours. León stated that his goal is to win titles and help take the club to an even higher level. He added that joining the Tshwane giants is a source of pride in his career.

León is part of a busy January window for Sundowns. He is joined by Monnapule Saleng from Orlando Pirates and Khulumani Ndamani from TS Galaxy as new additions to the squad. The club continues to invest in depth and quality as it balances domestic and continental ambitions.

The striker could make his Betway Premiership debut against Orbit College FC on Monday. Sundowns currently sit second on the league table with seven wins from 13 matches. With the season resuming, León’s performances will be closely watched as the club looks to maintain pressure at the top and challenge strongly in all competitions.
