The Red Giant wants to strengthen its attacking line.
Al Ahly wants to sign Mayele and has submitted an official offer!
A high-stakes transfer saga is unfolding in Cairo, as Al Ahly's ambitious move for Congolese striker Ibrahim "Fiston" Mayele has hit a significant financial roadblock. According to confirmed reports, the Egyptian giants tabled a formal offer for the African superstar, seeking to capitalize on the stalled contract talks between the player and his current club, Pyramids FC.
Al Ahly presented a lucrative proposal, featuring an annual salary of $3 million, hoping to lure the continent's current top scorer. However, this initial bid was politely declined by Mayele's representatives, who returned with a formidable counter-proposal: a two-year contract demanding $4 million per season, plus a $1 million signing bonus.
These figures have been deemed "exceptionally high" by Al Ahly's management, who had initially hoped to secure the deal at a lower cost. The negotiation impasse highlights the soaring value of the 2024/25 CAF Champions League top scorer, whose six goals and pivotal strike in the final against Mamelodi Sundowns were instrumental in delivering Pyramids FC their first-ever continental title. Beyond the statistics, it is Mayele's intelligent movement and relentless pressing that have made him one of Africa's most sought-after talents, qualities that his camp believes warrant a premium price.
