Kapeluschnik has stated that a deal has been finalised and that the Ethiopian has made the move from neighbours Sundowns to Matsatsantsa on a permanent basis.
"Yes, he has signed there for one season. He is at SuperSport United right now. He is their player," Kapeluschnik confirmed to Soccer Laduma.
Earlier in the off-season, former Brazilians coach Rulani Mokwena had indicated that the Ethiopian was no longer with the Brazilians, but the player soon returned to training with the Gauteng team.
On Tuesday night, after Sundowns' 4-1 win over Marumo Gallants in the Betway Premiership, coach Mngqithi did not confirm whether Nasir had signed with SuperSport.

Soccer Laduma contacted SuperSport United on the reported signing of Nasir but the club had not responded by the time this article was published.
