The decision-makers at Sundowns made a rather later decision, while the coaching staff learned of the news after the move was signed and sealed.
“Soccer Laduma has been informed that Erasmus’ attitude had a lot to do with the Downs hierarchy deciding to terminate his contract and forego inserting a clause that he could not join Pirates or Kaizer Chiefs,” the outlet said in their latest edition.

“According to sources at Chloorkop and close to Erasmus, the player had been resigned to waiting it out until the end of the season when his contract expires, but a high-ranking club official informed the Siya crew that his body language would not have been good for the dressing room.
“Erasmus insisted that he wanted to play, so in the end, the Downs management made a late call to terminate his contract, and there have been suggestions it’s unlikely there was a settlement involved in releasing the player to join the Buccaneers,” Soccer Laduma concluded.
