Mamelodi Sundowns want to sign a prominent star from TS Galaxy!

In a decisive response to a challenging first half of the season, Mamelodi Sundowns are executing an ambitious January transfer strategy. Following the high-profile signing of winger Monnapule Saleng from Orlando Pirates, the Tshwane giants are now in advanced negotiations to secure TS Galaxy's standout performer, Puso Dithejane.

A Season of Unmet Expectations Spurs Action

Having surprisingly missed out on both the MTN8 and Carling Knockout trophies this campaign, Sundowns' management has identified the current transfer window as critical for revitalizing their 2025/26 Betway Premiership title ambitions. Club insiders indicate a clear intent to be among the market's most active participants to "beef up the squad" for the decisive second round of the season.

From Shock Signing to Strategic Pursuit

The acquisition of Saleng, which sent shockwaves through South African football, appears to be just the first part of a broader plan. Attention has now turned to 21-year-old Puso Dithejane, one of the most discussed talents in the Premier Soccer League (PSL). According to sources close to the negotiations, Sundowns are leading the race for his signature, ahead of traditional rivals Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.

"Puso is close to joining Mamelodi Sundowns," a confidential source revealed. "The club held talks with the player’s camp, and I can tell you that Dithejane is keen on the move. It’s only a few details that remain to be finalized."

Profiling the Target: Puso Dithejane

The TS Galaxy attacker, a former Kaizer Chiefs youth prospect, has been in exceptional form. Operating as a utility forward, Dithejane has been instrumental for the Rockets this season, contributing four goals and six assists in his 15 appearances across all competitions. His versatility and direct goal involvement have made him a prime target for the reigning champions as they seek to inject creativity and dynamism into their lineup.

This aggressive double-swoop for Saleng and Dithejane signals Sundowns' unwavering determination to reclaim their dominant status and mount a formidable challenge on all domestic fronts.
