Pitso Mosimane Sets His Sights on Khanyisa Mayo

Renowned coach Pitso Mosimane has reportedly expressed interest in a massive signing in the Premier Soccer League (PSL). The latest reports suggest that Mosimane has set his sights on Khanyisa Mayo, a talented striker from Cape Town City and a significant target for Kaizer Chiefs, with a current value estimated at over R20 million.

A Significant Bid for Mayo?

Mosimane is apparently considering making a bid for Mayo, who was previously a target for Kaizer Chiefs. However, Cape Town City extended Mayo’s contract until June 2028, indicating their determination to retain their prized player.

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.
