Fiston Mayele talks about his future with Pyramids FC

The Congolese striker has finally spoken out about his situation following months of intense transfer rumors. Mayele, coming off an impressive individual campaign, was quick to shift focus to team achievements when reflecting on last season.

With his current deal at Pyramids FC running for another twelve months, the prolific forward made his intentions clear for the new season. "At this moment, my focus remains on Pyramids as I still have one year remaining on my contract," Mayele confirmed. "Our primary objective next season is clear - we want to compete for every available trophy. Personally, I'm determined to challenge for the top scorer award again, and I'll give everything to make that happen."

The 29-year-old's statement effectively puts an end to the swirling speculation about an imminent move, at least for the coming season. His commitment to Pyramids' ambitions suggests the Egyptian club can count on their star attacker as they prepare for their upcoming campaign.

The Pyramids FC forward's hopes of joining Kaizer Chiefs have collapsed after the South African giants baulked at his substantial salary expectations. With negotiations at an impasse, the Congolese international is now exploring lucrative opportunities in Saudi Arabia's emerging football market.

The 29-year-old's current employers face a dilemma as their star player seeks improved terms, whether through an improved contract in Egypt or a big-money move to the oil-rich Gulf state. Sources suggest Middle Eastern clubs may be more willing to meet his financial requirements than potential South African suitors.
