Mamelodi Sundowns Confirms Signing Erwin Saavedra

Manqoba Mngqithi, the club’s co-head coach, has confirmed the signing of Bolivian international Erwin Saavedra.

After Sundowns and his club, Club Bolivar, struck an agreement on his transfer cost, the offensive midfielder was expected to join the Tshwane giants during the recent January transfer window.

Masandawana, on the other hand, did not confirm his signing before the transfer window closed on Monday night, despite the fact that he was playing for Bolivia in the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers.

Mngqithi, who revealed last month that he was a great admirer of Saavedra, has now revealed that the 25-year- old’s transfer to the Chloorkop-based giants has been finalized and that he is now a member of their Caf Champions League side.
