Sundowns to sacrifice Nascimento for new goalkeeper

When Mamelodi Sundowns announced the signing of Ghanaian goalkeeper Razak Brimah rumours started flying around as to which foreign player will be released by the Chloorkop-based African champions.


Brimah was officially unveiled as the Brazilians’ first signing this transfer window on Tuesday morning. He joined on a five year deal.

Phakaaathi has however found out that none of the foreign legion will be released.

“What will happen is that (Ricardo) Nascimento will not be registered with the PSL this season because he is still nursing a groin injury which could take up to eight months to heal,” a source close to the team revealed.
