“Talks are at an advanced stage and I don’t think he will be a SuperSport United player next season because Sundowns are prepared to trigger his buy-out clause‚” an insider told TimesLIVE.

Masandawana head coach Pitso Mosimane has publicly revealed his desire for the left-sided winger, with an insider revealing that the highly-rated mentor has finally made up for failing to lure him to Chloorkop on numerous occasions in recent transfer windows.

The 25-year-old winger told TimesLIVE he was humbled to be linked with Mosimane’s side as the Brazilians regularly compete against the best sides on the continent in the CAF Champions League every year.

“I was humbled that a big continental team like Sundowns made inquiries about me,” Modiba told TimesLive.

“It showed that I have been doing something right with my football and it will also serves as motivation for me to continue working hard so that I can open more doors like going overseas in the future‚” said Modiba a few months ago.

“Playing in Caf club competitions is something that is important to me. When we played in the Confederation Cup a few seasons ago‚ we lost in the final and I learned a lot from the experience‚” added Modiba.

Should ‘Jingles’ succeed to lure the talented midfielder to Chloorkop, he will compete with the likes of Sibusiso Vilakazi‚ Gaston Sirino, and Themba Zwane who Mosimane alternates on either wing depending on the opposition.
