After serving Pyramids FC for nearly three years, DR Congo international striker Fiston Mayele is expected to leave the club once his contract expires at the end of the season.
Mayele joined Pyramids FC in 2023 from Young Africans of Tanzania, where he was one of the most influential strikers in East African football due to his impressive goal-scoring ability.
According to various reports from Egyptian and North African media, contract renewal talks between Pyramids FC and Mayele have stalled for several months, despite the club’s desire to keep him.
Reports suggest that Pyramids offered him a new two-year deal with a significant salary increase to prevent him from leaving on a free transfer, but no agreement has been reached so far.
As a result, Mayele is now attracting interest from several major clubs across Africa and the Middle East.
Al Ahly Monitoring Closely
African giants Al Ahly SC have been consistently linked with the striker, with reports indicating that the club has shown interest in signing him to strengthen their attacking options ahead of next season.
Some North African sources claim that Al Ahly even submitted a formal offer after noticing delays in his contract extension talks.
However, other internal reports from within Al Ahly suggest that the striker is not yet officially part of their transfer plans, leaving his future still uncertain.
Saudi Arabian Clubs Also in the Race
Beyond Al Ahly, several clubs from the Saudi Pro League are also reported to be closely monitoring Mayele’s situation. Transfer sources in Africa indicate that multiple Saudi teams are interested in securing his services once his contract with Pyramids expires.
His goal-scoring record, CAF competition experience, and physical strength are cited as key factors making him an attractive option in the transfer market.
Statistics at Pyramids FC
During his time at Pyramids FC, Fiston Mayele has made a significant impact at the club:
Matches: 125
Goals: 54
Assists: 6
Goal contributions: 60
Beyond the numbers, Mayele has been a key figure in Pyramids’ success in the Egyptian Premier League and CAF Champions League, where he played a crucial role in their title-winning campaign, finishing as top scorer and helping the club secure the Super Cup as well.
End of a Chapter, Beginning of a New One
If his departure is confirmed at the end of the season, Mayele will leave as one of the most impactful strikers in Pyramids FC’s recent history since arriving from Tanzania.
