Mamelodi Sundowns are reportedly on the verge of a significant January
transfer window move, with Colombian forward Brayan León poised to join the
Betway Premiership champions.
According to renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, the 25-year-old
striker will join the Tshwane giants from Independiente Medellín in a deal
valued at $3.5 million (approximately R57.7 million), which includes a
sell-on clause for the Colombian club.
In a post on X, Romano stated:
“After fullback Juan Arizala sold to Udinese as revealed last week,
Independiente Medellin prepare one more sale. Brayan Leon leaves the
club to join Mamelodi Sundowns for $3.5m package plus sell-on clause.”
León has been in impressive form for Medellín during the 2024/25 Liga
DIMAYOR II season, scoring eight goals in 13 appearances. His potential
arrival signals Sundowns’ ambition to further strengthen their attacking
options as they continue to compete on domestic and continental fronts.
The move, if finalized, would represent another high-profile South American
signing for the Brazilians, following in the footsteps of players such as
Marcelo Allende and Erwin Saavedra. It also underscores the growing
financial power and international appeal of the DStv Premiership champions
in the global transfer market.
