Former Mamelodi Sundowns star joins Liverpool FC with PSL champions tipped to replace South American star with Kaizer Chiefs product

Former Mamelodi Sundowns defender Lucas Suarez has completed a move to Liverpool Futbol Club, a Uruguayan Primera Division side.

After his Downs' departure was confirmed, the 30-year-old left-footed centre-back has been announced as a new signing by the South American outfit. 

Masandawana have reportedly set their sights on Kaizer Chiefs product Khulumani Ndamane as a replacement for Suarez.

Currently at Premier Soccer League side TS Galaxy, reports indicate that the club is ready to sell the centre-back. The defender's move is understood to be close, as what remains now is a club-to-club agreement. 

Given Ndamane's age, 21, he is viewed as a long-term replacement for Suarez, whose departure from Sundowns was confirmed recently. Ndamane, who played in 27 games across all competitions for Galaxy, is said to have also attracted interest from abroad.

Meanwhile, Rivaldo Coetzee, Sipho Mbule, Lebohang Maboe, Sifiso Ngobeni, Thabang Sibanyoni, Sanele Tshabalala, and Kobamelo Kodisang are the others who left the Tshwane giants alongside Suarez.  

Rushine De Reuck has been loaned to Tanzanian giants Simba SC, and reports indicate he will be joined by Neo Maema before the new season begins.

As the Argentinian is set to begin life in the South American league, Masandawana fans are eager to see whether their club can indeed get the Chiefs' product, one of the highest-rated players in the PSL.
