A Saudi Arabian club has reportedly revealed the maximum amount they are willing to pay for Pyramids FC striker Fiston Mayele amid links to Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns in recent months.
Mayele has become one of the most sought-after forwards following an outstanding 2024/25 season with the Sky Blues, during which he played a crucial role in helping the club secure their first-ever CAF Champions League title.

The Congolese talisman has been strongly linked with the Naturena-based giants and the Tshwane-based powerhouse, with several reports from North Africa suggesting that Downs have already submitted an official offer to Pyramids.
Amidst those developments, it has also emerged that Saudi Arabian side Al-Fateh has joined the race to sign the prolific striker. Reports indicate that negotiations are underway between the Saudi club and the Egyptian Premier League outfit.
According to M.youm7.com, Pyramids have set a $3 million (approximately R54 million) price tag for Mayele, a figure Fateh reportedly considered too steep.
More so, it was said that the Saudi club initially requested a reduction in the asking price in order to secure the player's services. Now, a new report by Cairo24.com claims that Al-Fateh are only prepared to pay $1.5 million (approximately R26 million).

Meanwhile, KickOff recently reported that the 31-year-old star is unlikely to join either Amakhosi or Sundowns, with the Sky Blues determined to retain his services ahead of the new season.
As they prepare for another challenging season domestically and continentally, Pyramids are understandably eager to build around a proven performer who has already etched his name into the club’s history.
