Kaizer chiefs
Chiefs are currently in Turkey for their rigorous pre-season training, gearing up for the upcoming season with key announcements on new signings anticipated soon. The club, under the new leadership of coach Nasreddine Nabi, is focused on strengthening their squad ahead of their Toyota Cup friendly against Young Africans in Bloemfontein on July 28.
Amakhosi’s pursuit of Congolese striker Fiston Mayele from Pyramids FC faces significant hurdles despite the club’s ambition to fortify their striking options under Nabi’s guidance. Mayele’s impressive season in Egypt, which saw him score 17 goals and provide five assists in over 30 appearances, has garnered attention from top clubs, including Kaizer Chiefs.
CHALLENGES IN SECURING MAYELE
Sources close to the negotiations reveal that while Kaizer Chiefs possess the financial resources to compete for top talents. Pyramids FC’s steadfast reluctance to negotiate complicates the potential transfer. The Egyptian club values Mayele highly and is adamant about retaining their star striker, demanding a substantial fee exceeding R30 million. This valuation reflects Pyramids FC’s commitment to their squad’s continuity and competitive strength, making it difficult for Chiefs to sway their stance.
