Ngwenya: Sirino's possible departure to Al Ahly will raise Mamelodi Sundowns' profile

Former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Manqoba Ngwenya feels the club’s profile would improve if attacker Gaston Sirino joins Al Ahly.

The Uruguayan has been strongly linked with a move to the eight-time African champions where his former Downs coach Pitso Mosimane is reportedly eager for a reunion.

Sundowns stole the limelight when they won the 2016 Caf Champions League title and their subsequent participation at the Fifa Club World Cup, albeit they struggled there.

With Mosimane’s move to Ahly in September also thrusting the Brazilians into the spotlight again, Ngwenya feels that the club’s image would be boosted if Sirino moves to Egypt.
