Slavia Prague expresses interest in Thapelo Maseko

Slavia Prague has initiated exploratory contacts with the South African club Mamelodi Sundowns regarding a potential transfer of 22-year-old winger Thapelo Maseko. The player, who spent the previous season on loan at AEL Limassol, has attracted significant attention due to his performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. While AEL Limassol previously expressed a desire to keep the player for the upcoming season, the involvement of the Czech champions complicates his potential return to Cyprus. Reports confirmed as of June 28, 2026, indicate that there is no official offer yet, but Slavia Prague is seriously evaluating his case. Maseko is currently under contract with Mamelodi Sundowns, who retain the rights to the player. The interest from the Czech club is based on his increased market value following his international displays. Further developments are expected as multiple clubs monitor his situation throughout the tournament.
