DR Congo star Fiston Mayele joins Al Ahli Tripoli on two-year deal

DR Congo international striker Fiston Mayele has officially completed his move to Libyan giants Al Ahli Tripoli in the current transfer window.

Mayele penned a two-year contract with the club and is expected to play a huge role for the club in the upcoming football campaign.

The 31-year-old forward was available as a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Egyptian side Pyramids FC, bringing his successful spell in Egypt to an end.

Mayele has now chosen Libya as the next destination in his career, with Al Ahli Tripoli confirming the signing as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new campaign.

The DR Congo star will remain at the Libyan club for the next two seasons, bringing considerable experience at both domestic and continental level.

Mayele leaves Pyramids FC after making a significant impact during his time in Egypt. The striker played an important role in the club’s rise as a major force in African football and established himself as one of the continent’s experienced attacking players.

His arrival is expected to provide Al Ahli Tripoli with an additional attacking threat, with the Libyan giants counting on his goalscoring ability, movement and experience to help them compete for honours.

According to reports, Mayele is set to earn a total of $10 million over the two-year duration of his contract. That would amount to an annual salary of approximately $5 million, making the move a major financial commitment from the Libyan club.

For Mayele, the transfer represents another major chapter in a career that has taken him across several African leagues and competitions.

The Congolese striker has built a reputation as a reliable goalscorer, particularly through his performances in African club competitions, where his experience could prove valuable to Al Ahli Tripoli.

The Libyan side will now hope that Mayele can quickly settle into the squad and reproduce the attacking form that made him a key figure at Pyramids FC.

His arrival also underlines Al Ahli Tripoli’s ambition to strengthen their squad with established African talent as they pursue domestic and continental success.

Mayele will now begin a new chapter in Libya, with the Congolese international expected to lead the line for Al Ahli Tripoli over the next two seasons.
