Masandawana legend Hlompho Kekana has called for a sensational reconciliation between the club and the 27-year-old. The Brazilian forward is currently embroiled in a bitter legal dispute with the Tshwane giants following his controversial departure last year.
The former Masandawana favourite talisman is officially back on the market after his departure from Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa was confirmed. The Brazilian forward's brief stint in LaLiga2 has come to a disappointing end following the club's tumble from the second tier.
The 2024/25 PSL Player of the Season and the Golden Boot winner was relegated with Spanish LaLiga 2 side Cultural Leonesa and will not see his short term contract extended, leaving him as a free agent less than a year on from his acrimonious departure from Masandawana.
The reigning Premier Soccer League Player of the Season parted ways with the Tshwane giants under a dark cloud, with the fallout still lingering long after his departure in search of greener pastures, a bitter exit that left the Masandawana faithful stunned and heartbroken. After lighting up the campaign in Chloorkop and cementing himself as one of the league’s standout performers, the 27-year-old could never have imagined that his next chapter with Cultural Leonesa would unravel in such frustrating fashion.
There have been questions about the future of the South American who had two successful seasons in the Premier Soccer League with Masandawana before his controversial exit. The versatile attacker's future is not guaranteed since he has just a couple of months before his current deal with Spanish lower-league outfit Cultural Leonesa.
The Soweto giants have been missing an effective player to help the team in tight matches that need individual brilliance. However, that can be solved if the Glamour Boys can secure a high-profile signing of an experienced player who has already delivered in Mzansi when he was playing for the Brazilians two seasons ago.
