Pyramids FC striker Fiston Mayele will NOT be joining Kaizer Chiefs or any other South African football team.
This is according to Mayele’s close ally and fellow Congolese Christian Bukasa who spoke at length about the player’s ambition.
Speaking to KickOff, Bukasa revealed how surprise he was that Mayele is still being linked with a possible move to Chiefs.
He further recalled how the lanky striker desperately wanted to join Chiefs while he was still at Yanga SC.
However, Chiefs, at the time, discouraged Mayele as they complained about his age and high salary demands before rejecting him.
Now, Bukasa said Mayele is at a stage in his career where he wants to make money for himself and his family.
He added that not even Mamelodi Sundowns are an option for Mayele as he’s currently in talks with a Saudi Arabian club.
Al Fateh is the Saudi Arabian club Mayele is reported to be in talks with as indications are that he will leave Pyramids.
The oonly time Mayele can come to South Africa is during the off-season for holiday purposes and to enjoy the Amapiano music.
MAYELE REJECTS KAIZER CHIEFS, OPTS FOR SAUDI ARABIA
“He doesn’t want South Africa anymore so I’m surprised that Mayele is still being linked to Chiefs up to now,” said Bukasa.
“When Mayele wanted to come to South Africa, Chiefs turned us down and we moved on.
“The truth is that while at Yanga, he wanted to come to South Africa, but he was told about age, money and so felt discouraged.
“He will not even come to Mamelodi Sundowns because the PSL chapter is gone.
“He now needs to make money and will move to Saudi Arabia where his salary will be tripled before all other bonuses.
“We are talking proper money.”
“At his age he needs to make money for himself and his family and the best destination for him next is Saudi Arabia where talks are already ongoing with clubs there,” added Bukasa.
“What is the reason for coming to South Africa for less money now when there is so much more for him in Saudi Arabia.
“He told me that he will only come here during the holidays to listen to amapiano and not to play soccer.
“For soccer, all the teams must forget, and this is the truth.
“In Africa, besides Pyramids, he can only play for Al Ahly,” he concluded.
