Mamelodi Sundowns are believed to have forked out R12 million for the signing of midfield talisman Junior Mendieta.
The Siya crew had earlier reported that Stellenbosch FC had put a figure of around R10 million as his buy-out clause following rumours that Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates were keen on his services.
But Downs moved swiftly, identifying Mendieta as a priority target after parting ways with attacker Haashim Domingo at the start of last month. Domingo has since joined Raja Casablanca in Morocco on a two-year deal to begin life with the North African powerhouse.
