Kaizer Chiefs could very well lose out on Pyramids striker Fiston Mayele.
The 30-year-old Congolese goal poacher has been linked with the Soweto giants for nearly two months now. He finished the season with 18 goals across all competitions, helping secure Pyramids’ first-ever CAF Champions League title after defeating Mamelodi Sundowns in the final.
Last week, the striker posted a cryptic message on social media, which led many to believe he was leaving Pyramids.
Will Kaizer Chiefs lose out on Mayele?
Two seasons with Pyramids, 41 goals in all competitions. Thank you very much to the whole team and thanks to all these people for their help in everything, Alhamdulillah,” Mayele shared on Instagram.
According to Soccer Laduma, Pyramids are looking to offer Mayele a two-year contract offer which is reportedly close to US$3 million (approximately R53 million).
“The only way Mayele can join Kaizer Chiefs is if the player himself wants to reunite with coach Nasreddine Nabi,” a source told the publication.
“It won’t be because of money. Pyramids FC are offering him enough money to stay at the club or sell him to a club that can offer more money than Kaizer Chiefs. Chiefs are believed to be offering around a R5 million signing on fee to be spread in three seasons and a monthly salary of between R1 million and up to R1.5 million. So it’s kind of difficult for Chiefs to sign him if it’s all about money only. Unless the player himself loves to come and play for the club,” the insider said.
Which team will sign Mayele next season?
