Thapelo Maseko’s Move Delayed as Game Time Concerns Grow

Mamelodi Sundowns winger Thapelo Maseko continues to push for a transfer, but the wait is longer than expected.

Concerns are rising over Maseko’s lack of playing time. His camp has been actively seeking a move, but there has been little progress so far.

Reports linked Maseko to a potential move to Cyprus. That deal now appears off the table. The focus has shifted to finding other options. A loan move seems the most realistic solution for the player.

Maseko was part of the Bafana Bafana squad that earned bronze at the last Africa Cup of Nations. Despite this, he risks spending much of the season on the bench if he stays.

Currently, Siyabonga Mabena and Kutlwano Letlhaku rank ahead of him in Sundowns’ pecking order. His future playing time is uncertain if he remains at the club.

Discussions are ongoing behind the scenes to find a way for Maseko to get regular minutes. The transfer window still has time left, but no guarantees exist that a move will happen before it closes.

Maseko’s next steps will be critical for his career development and playing opportunities in the 2025/26 season.
