Mamelodi Sundowns star Lucas Ribeiro Costa has penned an emotional farewell message to the club after confirming his departure.
The 26-year-old leaves the Brazilians after two memorable seasons with the Tshwane giants.
During his time at Sundowns, Ribeiro has scored 37 goals and registered 23 assists in 88 appearances across all competitions.
“From the very first day I arrived, I gave my all, on and off the field, to earn my place and proudly defend Mamelodi Sundowns,” Ribeiro wrote.
“These past two years have been incredible, full of emotions. I have learned so much from this beautiful culture, not only to become a better player, but also a better human being.”
Ribeiro’s impact extended beyond the pitch. His connection with the fans, his humility, and his professionalism made him one of the most beloved foreign imports in recent PSL history.
“To my wonderful Masandawana supporters, first of all, thank you for everything. I want you to know that your support and love meant so much to me, and I will never forget you. I will always carry in my heart the memories of the emotions I lived, the goals, the assists, the trophies, and the magical nights with you that made me feel at home.”
