Kaizer Chiefs will not be signing Bafana Bafana striker Khanyiso Mayo as he is contracted to CR Belouizdad until 2027.
Amakhosi were close to signing the talented forward last year, but the Algerian side beat them to it. The player’s father and Kaizer Chiefs legend Patrick Mayo revealed that he did receive a call from Amakhosi regarding his son.
Mayo’s agent Basia Michaels told Soccer Laduma that the striker will not be joining Kaizer Chiefs this coming season.
“Khanyisa’s currently got two years left on his contract with CRB. He is currently in Algeria. He arrived on Sunday, and they started training yesterday (Monday). I have had no communication with Chiefs about Khanyisa. The only communication I had with Chiefs was communication of the past,” Michaels told Soccer Laduma.
Kaizer Chiefs searching for another striker
“At this present moment, this is not a thing. Why? Because Khanyisa has a contract at CRB. He’s got two years left, and he’s happy to stay there. He wants to continue that journey. I’ve received no offers for Khanyisa because he had just signed a deal a year ago,” he added.
Kaizer Chiefs have signed six players already ahead of the coming season but the club feels they need to sign another striker. So far, Flavio Silva is the only forward the club has.
Will Maayo ever join Chiefs?
