Thapelo Maseko set to join FC Copenhagen in €1.5 million deal

South African winger Thapelo Maseko is expected to continue his career at FC Copenhagen, following an agreement reached between the Danish club and Mamelodi Sundowns on August 13, 2026. The transfer of the 22-year-old player is reportedly valued at €1.5 million, with Maseko set to sign a three-year contract with the European side.

This move concludes recent speculation regarding the player's future, which had included rumors of a possible return to AEL Limassol. Maseko spent the second half of the previous season on loan at the Cypriot club, where he made 15 appearances, scoring two goals and providing one assist. His market value increased significantly following a strong performance at the World Cup, where he recorded three appearances and one goal, ultimately facilitating his move to the Danish Superliga.

The transfer represents a significant step in the career of the young forward, who has publicly credited his time at AEL Limassol for his development. Both South African and Cypriot reports confirm the agreement, marking a definitive end to his tenure with Mamelodi Sundowns as he prepares for his new chapter in Denmark.
