Mamelodi Sundowns have reportedly completed the signing of a highly talented Bolivian star Erwin Mario Saavedra Flores.
The 25-year-old right midfielder who can also play as a right-back has featured 93 times for Bolivar since joining the club in 2018.
He has 23 goals and 20 assists and will likely provide Mamelodi Sundowns with even further depth on the right-hand side.
According to reports, the Brazilians have forked out a record R18 Million to land the South American star.
“Every window there is work to be done. I think we are very close to concluding one transfer, incoming,” Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rhulani Mokwena said late last year.
“We are very close, but I am tight-lipped on that one. The club will release a statement. We are close to signing a player who will be very important for us this season and we felt that we needed a bit more cover with regards to a specific position.
“Mamelodi Sundowns don’t have that type of profile, and an interesting profile. Hopefully, we can still strengthen with one or two others, but we won’t be doing too much business in this January transfer window. Maybe one or two to go out on loan.”
The Official statement by the cub will be made in the coming days.
