Cape Town City interim coach Muhsin Ertugral has revealed that Keanu Cupido has sealed a move to Mamelodi Sundowns.
The 27-year-old defender has been a long-term target for the Brazilians for his consistent displays for the Citizens.
In his seven years with the Cape Town team, Cupido has played 144 times in all competitions, scoring twice.
He was left out of the squad for the 2-0 Nedbank Cup last 32 loss to Sekhukhune on Monday night.
Speaking after the game, Ertugral confirmed that Cupido would be leaving the club.
The head coach said on SuperSport: “The deal has been done.
“Keanu obviously is a great player that looks to bigger challenges for himself. He deserves that.
“I think we are good in the defensive line so we still have one youngster [Alifeyo] Ziba he needs also a chance. I was thinking maybe today to give him a chance but Ziba is also a very interesting player.
“So along the way he will have those chances to play hopefully we can another, I think we are targeting another six victories that will bring us to the top 8.”
