Mamelodi Sundowns have announced the signing of midfielder Nuno Santos from Vitória Guimarães SC.
The 26-year-old Portugal midfielder arrived in South Africa on Monday after the two parties reached a club-to-club agreement and personal terms for the transfer, as reported by iDiski Times.
Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso has made no secret that the club needs attacking reinforcements and Santos who can feature as a ten or an inverted winger has now been secured to bolster their first team squad.
Sources have confirmed the deal is around R20-million for the former Benfica and Charlotte playmaker, who has agreed a ‘long-term’ contract with Masandawana.
On Monday evening, Sundowns unveiled their new Portuguese signing.
He’s featured 90 times for Guimarães, scoring eight goals with 16 assists in 90 games since his arrival from the Major League Soccer (MLS) side in July 2023.
Back in 2019 he was also part of the Portugal U17 squad that won the UEFA U17 European Championship and has been capped from U16 level all the way up to the U21s but has yet to make his senior international debut.
