DR Congo star Fiston Mayele’s future with Pyramids future in doubt amid growing interest

DR Congo international Fiston Mayele is facing an uncertain future at Pyramids amid growing transfer interest ahead of the summer window.

Despite earlier indications that negotiations over a new contract were progressing positively, no agreement has yet been reached between the player and the club, raising fresh questions about whether he will remain in Cairo beyond the current season.

Mayele enjoyed a remarkable end to the campaign, overcoming a slow start to emerge as one of Pyramids’ most influential performers. His impressive form in the closing stages of the season has reportedly attracted interest from several clubs both within Africa and abroad.

The uncertainty surrounding his contract situation has only intensified speculation, particularly as the striker is now regarded as one of the most sought-after forwards in the region.

Among the clubs linked with the Congolese international is Saudi-based interest, with former Zamalek SC coach Jose Gomes reportedly keen on reuniting with the striker at his current club.

The Portuguese tactician is believed to view Mayele as a priority target, with the possibility of signing the forward without a major transfer fee making the deal particularly attractive from both a sporting and financial perspective.

Meanwhile, speculation has also continued to link Mayele with Egyptian giants Al Ahly.

Although there is no indication of active negotiations at present, reports suggest Al Ahly had previously explored the possibility of signing the striker. However, the player remained committed to Pyramids at the time and was not interested in leaving while under contract.

As things stand, there have been no confirmed talks between Al Ahly and Pyramids regarding a potential transfer, but the situation remains one to watch closely as the transfer window approaches.

Mayele’s outstanding performances have significantly boosted his reputation, and his goalscoring exploits have made him one of the standout players in Egyptian football this season.

With no contract renewal finalised and interest continuing to grow, the chances of the Congolese forward remaining at Pyramids appear increasingly uncertain.

The coming weeks are expected to be decisive as the club’s hierarchy weighs its options and the player considers the next step in his career, with several potential destinations likely to emerge if he becomes available on the market.
