Fiston Mayele's Future: Pyramids FC Set the Record Straight
The rumour mill has been churning, linking Congolese striker Fiston Mayele with a move away from Pyramids FC. With Kaizer Chiefs and Saudi Pro League side Al-Fateh reportedly interested, speculation has been rife. But Pyramids FC are now setting the record straight: Mayele isn't going anywhere just yet.
Mayele has been a key player for the Egyptian giants, especially after helping Pyramids FC clinch their first-ever CAF Champions League title last season, scoring nine crucial goals in the process. His overall record speaks volumes: 39 goals and 7 assists in 81 appearances. That's a goal almost every other game!
Chiefs and Saudi Interest
The strong performances on the big stage have naturally attracted attention. The possibility of Mayele joining Kaizer Chiefs to reunite with his former coach Nasreddine Nabi, or making a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League, has been widely discussed.
Pyramids FC's Stance
However, according to Kooora, a source within Pyramids FC has confirmed that Mayele is expected to report for pre-season training on July 8th. The club also plans to discuss a contract extension with him. "Mayele will join the team's training sessions... and his future will be discussed if official offers for his departure are received," the source stated.
The club hasn't even opened renewal talks yet, preferring to wait until Mayele returns to Egypt to discuss his future. This suggests that Pyramids are keen to keep hold of their star striker.
What's Next?
Pyramids FC are preparing for the 2025/26 season with training camps in Slovenia and Croatia. Mayele's participation in these camps will be crucial, and his performance will likely influence any potential transfer decisions. For now, it seems Mayele will remain a key part of the Pyramids FC squad.
