Kaizer Chiefs are growing frustrated with Pyramids FC as negotiations over a potential move for Fiston Mayele stall.
Chiefs put off by Mayele’s fluctuating price tag
As things stand, Congolese marksman Fiston Mayele will not be joining Kaizer Chiefs.
“Almost every time they want to sign him, the price goes up because there are other clubs interested in him as well, and now it’s believed that Pyramids are extending his contract, which makes it even harder to convince them to let him go,” a source revealed.
“So, it’s for these reasons that the club is believed to have reached a decision to give up on Mayele for now.”
Dortley is on the road to recovery for Kaizer Chiefs
In March 2025, Rushwin Dortley underwent knee surgery to address an issue that was far more serious than initially thought. There are no specifics on a timeframe for his recovery. However, it’s unlikely we’ll see him play any competitive football before September. Still, the player will feel that the worst is over. Also, it’s not uncommon for players to become more resilient and mentally tough after serious setbacks so early in their careers. Dortley will almost certainly miss the start of the 2025-2026 campaign as the club looks to err on the side of caution. Their reward will be a fully fit and motivated Rushwin Dortley.
