SuperSport United are reportedly making a move for Mamelodi Sundowns winger Neo Maema to strengthen their squad for the upcoming 2025/26 Betway Premiership season. Sources indicate that the Tshwane-based club sees Maema as a key target after a disappointing previous campaign.
Maema has struggled to secure regular playing time at Sundowns under coach Miguel Cardoso, often appearing as a substitute. Despite making 17 appearances across all competitions, he only managed one goal last season. He faces stiff competition from players like Lucas Ribeiro Costa, Kutlwano Lethlaku, Arthur Sales, Themba Zwane, and Tashreeq Mathews.
With one year remaining on his contract, SuperSport United are hoping to entice the 29-year-old winger with the prospect of more consistent playing time and a chance to revitalize his career. The potential move would bolster SuperSport's attacking options significantly.
Ndlovu to Chiefs? Agent Sets the Record Straight
Meanwhile, amidst swirling rumours linking SuperSport United midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu to Kaizer Chiefs, his agent, Jazzman Mahlakgane, has addressed the speculation. Mahlakgane told Soccer Laduma that "There is nothing about Ndlovu at the moment. There is nothing happening with him right now... SuperSport United have just returned for their pre-season today and I can tell you there is nothing like that."
An insider familiar with SuperSport United's strategy revealed that the club has exercised the one-year option on Ndlovu's contract. This means that if Chiefs are indeed interested in signing the 28-year-old, they would need to negotiate a transfer fee with SuperSport United.
Ndlovu was a regular for SuperSport United last season, playing a crucial role in their successful fight against relegation. The contract situation adds another layer of complexity to the potential transfer.
