Football agent Mike Makaab‘s confirmation indicates that Nyiko Mobbie‘s transfer from Mamelodi Sundowns to SuperSport United is nearing completion.
This will be a permanent transfer, meaning Mobbie will be officially signed by SuperSport United, not just loaned. While Makaab’s confirmation signifies progress, an official announcement from either club finalizes the transfer.
Why the Move Makes Sense
Mobbie’s Situation at Sundowns: Mobbie has struggled to secure regular playing time at Mamelodi Sundowns, a team known for its strong squad depth. This move offers him a chance to become a first-team contender at SuperSport United.
Filling the Gap at SuperSport
SuperSport United is reportedly looking to replace Shandre Campbell as well as Kegan Johannes in their defence. Mobbie’s arrival could fill that position and provide stability in their back line.

Mobbie’s Potential
Despite limited opportunities at Sundowns, Mobbie is a talented defender. He recently impressed on loan at Sekhukhune United, showcasing his capabilities. This move allows him to potentially flourish with more playing time.
Mobbie’s Impact
If the transfer goes through, it’ll be interesting to see how Mobbie adapts to SuperSport United’s system and fight for a starting role. Matsansatsa might have other right-back options besides Mobbie, but it will be interesting to see if he can solidify his position as the first-choice defender.
Overall, this transfer seems like a positive step for both Mobbie and SuperSport United. Mobbie gets a chance to showcase his talent, and SuperSport gains a potentially valuable player to strengthen their defense
