Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly R20 million short of Fiston Mayele’s asking price, which diminishes their chances of signing the CAF Champions League winner.
“The only way Mayele can join Kaizer Chiefs is if the player himself wants to reunite with coach Nasreddine Nabi. It won’t be because of money,” the Siya crew confirmed.
“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 over 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.”
Another problem arises
Further decreasing Kaizer Chiefs’ hopes of signing one of Africa’s most in-form strikers is the competition they’re facing. According to reports, several North African giants are vying for his services.
“Apart from the money is that his club is still negotiating to keep him for two more seasons, and you know the owners are wealthy people and can afford him,” a source revealed.
“Apparently, there is also interest from other top Egyptian sides, which could make it easy for him to remain in Cairo. That’s what makes it even more difficult for Chiefs to win him over,” the second insider revealed.
Who should Kaizer Chiefs have on their radar?
