Two key Mamelodi Sundowns players linked with moves abroad
Mamelodi Sundowns could lose two of their players this transfer window as they continue to attract European teams. Although the Brazilians were eliminated in the group stages of the FIFA Club World Cup, their performance caught the eye of a few European teams. Two players who have impressed are Lucas Ribeiro and Khuliso Mudau. According to Soccer Laduma , French giants AS Monaco have inquired about Mudau. Two other clubs are also interested in the Mamelodi Sundowns' right back. 'There have been more enquiries, mainly after the Club World Cup but the main one is from French Ligue 1 club Monaco. They have shown interest in him and it is now all up to the two clubs whether they will agree on the move or not,' the source told Soccer Laduma . 'The talks have never stopped. All the involved parties have been talking and Sundowns have made it clear that they want to keep Mudau at the club. And with this interest from Monaco in France they are believed to be working on his new contract as soon as they can to secure his future,' another source told the publication. Ribeiro has been exceptional since joining The Brazilians back in 2023. He was the best player in the league last season and is a favourite to claim the PSL Player of the Year award. The Mamelodi Sundowns forward have been linked with Turkish giants Trabzonspor and French Ligue 2 club Saint-Etienne. Back in Brazil, local media have reported that Fluminense, one of the teams Ribeiro faced in the Club World Cup, is said to be eager to bring him home.

Kenilworth off, Tour on
The Tour de France offers punters something different each day. A soggy track at Kenilworth is considered too dangerous for racing and Tuesday's race meeting at the Cape Town venue has been postponed to Thursday. This means a second blank day in a row for South African racing and inveterate punters will be itching for bet. Once again, the Tour de France offers something different in that department. No rain is expected on the Tour's 170-odd km stage 4, which finishes in the city of Rouen. After the crash-blighted chaos of stage 3, the riders will nervous – particularly with more stiff winds expected. The Tour guide describes Tuesday's stage as tough with a lot of short and explosive climbs close to the finish. In Rouen we could have a similar finale to that of Sunday, when Mathieu van der Poel won. The current yellow jersey wearer is again among the fancies, but overall race favourites Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard – and other general classification contenders – will surely be in the shakedown. Betway's odds on the top choices are: • Mathieu van der Poel – R2.25 for the Win • Tadej Pogacar – R3.75 • Jonas Vingegaard – R13.00 • Romain Gregoire – R15.00 (and R4.50 for a Top 3 place) • Kevin Vaquelin – R15.00 (R4.50 Top 3) The latter two might be a shrewd bet. Tuesday's stage is similar to stage two of the 2024 Tour won by Frenchman Vauquelin, who has shown up well in the early stages of this year's race, finishing 16th on Day 1 and 8th on Sunday. Gregoire was fourth on stage two and is well matched with Vauquelin, who he pipped on a lumpy opening stage of the Tour de Suisse last month. Gregoire also finished a place in front of Vauquelin in the recent French national championship, where the pair were second and third, and the two are undoubtedly the best chances of a first French victory in this year's race.
