Kaizer Chiefs have entered the chat for Cassius Mialula – but they’re not alone.
The former Mamelodi Sundowns man joined MLS side Toronto FC in 2023 before shipping off to Wydad AC on a season-long loan, where he’s collected nine goals and assists in twenty-four league games this campaign.
Mailula’s impressive form has the Moroccan giants joining AmaKhosi in the race for the 23-year-old – several European clubs are also interested.
“For Wydad it will depend on whether coach Rulani Mokwena is still there or if whoever takes over still needs him,” a source told SoccerLaduma.
“Then there is interest from Europe. So, Chiefs have to outbid all the other interest if they are to have a chance of signing him. But it’s true they have shown interest in Mailula.”
A second insider confirmed Kaizer Chiefs’ eagerness, saying, “Chiefs have enquired about him but you know he is a Toronto FC player, and they are the ones to make the final decision.
“Are they loaning him out again or can Chiefs buy him from them? But as for Chiefs being interested in him that’s true and they are ready to fight for his signature.”
Mayele talks stall?
Another player on the Glamour Boys radar is Pyramids striker Fiston Mayele, however, he too will be tricky to land amid reports of the Egyptian giants, desperate to keep him, recently tabling a two-year extension.
“They are doing everything to keep him. They know there is interest not just from Kaizer Chiefs but other clubs as well and they want to make sure they keep him. So they have offered him a new two-year contract which increases his value as well,” Soccer Laduma reported.
Another source reaffirmed the interest, reporting that, “Whether Pryamids are offering him a new two-year deal or not, Chiefs have made him their top target for next season after failing to sign him this season. So, although it’s believed that his team are offering him a new deal, Chiefs are still interested in signing him,” the second source revealed.
