A Saudi Arabian club has reportedly approached Pyramids FC, regarding the potential transfer of in-demand striker Fiston Mayele.
According to M.youm7.com, Al-Fateh is currently in negotiations with the Egyptian Premier League side over a possible deal that could see Mayele make a move to Saudi Arabia.

The Congolese forward enjoyed a stellar 2024/25 season, playing a key role in helping the Sky Blues secure their first-ever CAF Champions League title and finish as runners-up in the domestic league.
As a result of his standout performances, Mayele has attracted significant interest ahead of the new season. South African heavyweights Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns are both reportedly monitoring the situation closely.
In fact, AfricaFoot has claimed that Sundowns have already reached an agreement with the 30-year-old goal-poacher and he is expected to join the team after the FIFA Club World Cup.
However, KickOff has reported that Mayele is unlikely to move to South Africa, with a transfer to the Gulf region now looking more probable, largely due to the financial incentives available compared to those in Mzansi.

Meanwhile, M.youm7.com also reported that Pyramids FC have placed a $3 million (approximately R54 million) price tag on Mayele, a fee Al-Fateh reportedly considers too high.
According to the report, the Saudi outfit has requested that Pyramids lower their asking price for them to sign Mayele, a move that could see them beat both Chiefs and Sundowns to the striker's signature.
