Mamelodi Sundowns are close to signing a centre-back wanted by Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, according to reports.
According to other reports, Mamelodi Sundowns are looking at this deal as part of a larger plan to strengthen their squad and reinforce their lines for the upcoming season.
Fawaaz Basadien, who has been in fine form for Stellenbosch FC this season, is expected to have the Brazilians working on getting the player on board next season.
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.
