‘We are in trouble’: Rival fans hope Brayan Leon secures overseas move

Posted on May 15, 2026

Many opposition fans are already worried about the impact of Mamelodi Sundowns striker Brayan Leon is set to have next season.

The 25-year-old forward has enjoyed a sensational start to life in South African football, scoring 15 goals across all competitions for Masandawana since joining the club in January.

Sundowns reportedly paid a fee of around $3.5 million plus a sell-on clause to sign the Colombian striker from Independiente Medellín.

Brayan Leon has quickly announced himself on the local stage, tormenting Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates with three goals combined against the two rivals.

After netting a hat-trick against Siwelele over the weekend, the lethal striker followed it up with a brace against TS Galaxy in Sundowns’ final league match of the season.

His incredible scoring run has left many PSL fans concerned about what could happen next season, with some fearing León could dominate the league and lead Sundowns to even more silverware.

The Colombian marksman now has another chance to add to his tally when Mamelodi Sundowns host AS FAR in the first leg of their CAF Champions League clash this weekend.

Fans want Brayan Leon to leave PSL

Fans on social media have already reacted to Leon’s frightening form, with some opposition supporters hoping the striker secures an overseas move before next season begins.

How good has Leon been?
