As excitement builds for the CAF Champions League final first leg between Pyramids FC and Mamelodi Sundowns this Saturday, there’s another story grabbing attention off the pitch.

The spotlight is on Pyramids FC’s star striker, Fiston Mayele, who has just opened up about some transfer buzz involving one of South Africa’s biggest clubs — Kaizer Chiefs.

Mayele Reveals Chiefs Showed Interest

In a recent chat with reporters via SABC Sport, Mayele confirmed he was contacted by Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi back in December 2024.

Nabi was keen on bringing Mayele over to solve the Chiefs’ well-known striker woes.

The lanky forward was high on their list, hoping to help boost their goal-scoring firepower.

But despite the initial contact, nothing concrete came from those talks.

Chiefs eventually went in a different direction, signing Glody Lilepo instead.

Mayele was candid about the whole thing, saying while the conversation happened months ago, any further details will only come out after the season wraps up.

Keeping Eyes on the Prize: The CAF Champions League Final

Right now, Mayele’s all about the upcoming showdown at Loftus Versfeld Stadium, where the first leg kicks off at 3 PM.

His priority remains helping Pyramids perform at their best against Sundowns in what promises to be a thrilling two-legged final.

“My focus is fully on the team and winning the final,” Mayele explained.

“After that, everyone is free to talk and speculate about anything.”

What’s Next for Amakhosi and Mayele?

Will Kaizer Chiefs rekindle their interest in Mayele after the season? Only time will tell.

For now, fans and followers are eager to see how things unfold — both on the pitch and in transfer talks.
