Mamelodi Sundowns are closing in on the acquisition of Stellenbosch FC defender Fawaaz Basadien in the ongoing transfer window.
The Brazilian are seeking to strengthen their squad for the impending FIFA Club World Cup and the new season at large, and Basadien has been identified as the perfect player to solidify their defense.
Fawaaz Basadien, who has been in fine form for Stellenbosch FC this season, is expected to seal a move to the Brazilians ahead of next season.
Despite being on the radar of fellow South African clubs, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, Sundowns have reputedly won the race to snap up the defender.
The 28-year-old’s consistent displays have caught the attention of several top-tier clubs, with Sundowns emerging as the favorites to secure his signature.
His versatility and impact were crucial in Stellenbosch’s remarkable run, which included clinching the Carling Knockout trophy and advancing to the CAF Confederation Cup semifinals.
With Basadien’s stock rising, Stellenbosch are open to negotiations, seeing this as an opportunity to capitalize on his rising value after a career-defining campaign. The move could mark a major shift in the PSL’s defensive talent landscape.
