PRETORIA, South Africa — Thapelo Maseko is becoming increasingly frustrated at Mamelodi Sundowns after the club allegedly blocked attractive transfer offers for the winger.
Reliable sources have indicated that Sundowns have turned down approaches from Denmark’s FC Copenhagen, Egyptian giants Al Ahly, and Pyramids FC, despite the player not featuring in coach Miguel Cardoso’s plans.
Maseko has been training alone and was left out of the squad that travelled for pre-season. Sources close to the situation claim the club has not provided clear communication regarding his future, leaving the Bafana Bafana international sidelined.
The 22-year-old previously revived his career during a loan spell in Cyprus and delivered strong performances for South Africa at the recent World Cup. However, his situation at Chloorkop has deteriorated, with reports stating he is no longer included in the first-team group.
Sundowns are understood to be reluctant to sell the winger to clubs within the PSL, while also rejecting overseas bids. The standoff has left Maseko in limbo as the transfer window continues.
