The ball-playing defender has been at the club since 2016, and has proved to be one of the club's best South American recruitments in recent years.
Nascimento was in high spirits after securing his deal, making his ambitions with the club very clear, according to a statement on Downs' official website.
"I want to promise Mamelodi Sundowns that I want to help the Club win more titles starting with the League and Nedbank Cup this season. I also want Sundowns to win the CAF Champions League and make more history," he said.
