The Cost of Signing Mayo

Should Mosimane proceed with his plan, he will have to buy Mayo out of his contract, which could be an expensive undertaking. Mayo’s current market value is approximately R20 million.

Other PSL Targets for Mosimane

Mosimane has been linked to several PSL targets in recent times, including Peter Shalulile and Gaston Sirino. The report in SoccerLaduma suggests that Mosimane is weighing up the possibility of signing joint-top DStv Premiership goal scorer, Khanyisa Mayo.

Mayo’s Future

While Cape Town City is eager to retain Mayo, the allure of playing in the UAE and being coached by Mosimane may prove too tempting for the young striker. The financial means of the coach might also make a difference. However, with Mayo’s contract extension until 2028, it seems unlikely that there will be any changes in the near future.

Mosimane’s Potential PSL Raid

Mosimane’s interest in Mayo is not an isolated incident. Several reports have connected him to other PSL talents, such as Mamelodi Sundowns duo Shalulile and Sirino. These potential targets have ignited speculation on whether Mosimane is preparing for an extensive raid of the PSL.

While Mosimane’s interest in Mayo and other PSL stars has generated considerable buzz, it remains to be seen whether any concrete moves materialize. With Mayo’s hefty price tag and long-term contract, the road to his signing may be an arduous one. However, Mosimane’s ambition and resources might just fuel a fascinating transfer saga in the coming months, giving fans and analysts much to discuss and anticipate. As the situation unfolds, soccer enthusiasts will undoubtedly keep a close eye on Mosimane’s next moves, wondering whether he will persist in his pursuit of Mayo or shift his focus towards other PSL talents.

Airbnb Under Fire: How Cape Town’s Housing Crunch Became a Tourism Blame-Game

Cape Town’s housing woes are NOT really Airbnb’s fault, even though a viral photo tried to blame them! The real problem is that not enough homes are being built, and lots of new people are moving to the city. Getting building permits takes forever, making homes expensive. Airbnb brings in lots of money and jobs, and even if all Airbnbs disappeared, it wouldn’t fix the big housing shortage. The city needs to build more homes and make it easier to do so, not just point fingers at tourists.
