The African transfer market was stirred today by a major rumor involving a key player in the Egyptian championship. There were rumors about a possible transfer of Mayele, forward of Pyramids FC, to the legendary club Al Ahly as early as next January. However, in a clear statement released on September 16, 2025, Pyramids club firmly denied any ongoing transfer agreement, putting an end to the speculation.
This clarification followed statements from coach Moatasem Salem, who seemed to fuel the rumor by mentioning talks. The Egyptian club Pyramids, currently in the middle of the season, prefers to stabilize its squad, which it considers important, especially ahead of the increasingly fierce African regional competitions.
This reversal is crucial as it keeps Mayele at the heart of Pyramids’ attacking dynamics for the continuation of the national championship and upcoming continental challenges. For Al Ahly, a club with high ambitions and always seeking strong reinforcements, the Mayele case appears to be postponed today, which might prompt them to explore other options during the winter transfer window.
This official communication has thus calmed the market and refocused African supporters’ attention on the ongoing competition while illustrating the caution of Egyptian championship clubs toward rumors that could destabilize their squads. The Mayele-Al Ahly saga shows that every move is closely monitored across the continent, where transfers stir passions as much as sporting ambitions.
