Kaizer Chiefs have made a direct approach to former Bafana Bafana star Patrick Mayo, enquiring about the potential availability of his son, Khanyisa Mayo. The elder Mayo revealed that the club reached out to him recently, but he stressed that any potential move does not rest in his hands.
Chiefs spoke to me about my son, Mayo Senior said. But the decision lies with the club in Algeria and with Khanyisa himself.
Agent shuts down rumours
Khanyisa’s agent, Basia Michaels of QT Sports, swiftly addressed the speculation by reaffirming the striker’s commitment to his current club, CR Belouizdad. She confirmed that the player remains under contract and has no intention of leaving the Algerian side at this time.
“Khanyisa currently has two years left on his contract with CRB. He is currently in Algeria. He arrived on Sunday and they started training yesterday (Monday),” Michaels said.
“I have had no communication with Chiefs about Khanyisa. The only communication I had with Chiefs is communications of the past.”
Michaels went on to clarify that there have been no transfer talks or offers regarding the former Cape Town City forward.
“At this present moment, this is not a thing. Why? Because Khanyisa has a contract at CRB. He’s got two years left and he’s happy to stay there. He wants to continue that journey. I’ve received no offers for Khanyisa because he had just signed a deal a year ago.”
Chiefs still hunting for a striker
Despite the agent’s dismissal, Chiefs continue to search for firepower up front as the transfer window edges closer to its end. Khanyisa Mayo remains one of the names reportedly under consideration. But any real movement would depend on CR Belouizdad’s stance and the player’s own interest in a return to the Premiership.
