The long-running mystery surrounding Mamelodi Sundowns star forward Lucas Ribeiro Costa is finally reaching boiling point. After weeks of speculation, rumours, and whispers shaking the football community, head coach Miguel Cardoso has stepped forward with a cryptic yet powerful update an announcement on Ribeiro’s future is imminent.
The Brazilian forward has been the subject of endless debate after his sudden absence from Sundowns’ matchday squads. Fans, analysts, and insiders have all speculated: is it injury, discipline, or a blockbuster transfer on the horizon? The silence from the club only fueled more theories, turning Ribeiro into the hottest talking point in South African football.
Now, Cardoso has finally lifted the lid—though just slightly. “An announcement on his status is imminent,” the coach revealed, refusing to go into further detail. His careful choice of words has only added to the suspense, leaving supporters desperate to know whether their star attacker will remain in yellow or take his talents elsewhere.
For Sundowns fans, Ribeiro’s uncertain future is a dagger to the heart. Since arriving at Chloorkop, the forward has dazzled with his flair, creativity, and clinical finishing. He quickly became one of the club’s most influential players, often turning games with a single moment of brilliance. Losing him would not just weaken the attack it could reshape the balance of power in the PSL.
The timing of Cardoso’s statement could not be more dramatic. Sundowns are locked in fierce battles on multiple fronts domestically and continentally. The prospect of heading into these challenges without their Brazilian talisman has left fans rattled.
But in the middle of all this tension, one thing is clear: answers are finally coming. Cardoso’s promise of an imminent announcement suggests the club is ready to put an end to the speculation that has overshadowed their campaign.
Will the news bring relief or heartbreak? Will Ribeiro stay to continue his rise in South African football, or is this the end of his chapter with Sundowns?
