Khanyisa Mayo’s agent Basia Micheals revealed that the player wanted to join Kaizer Chiefs, but the Soweto giants’ offer was late by a few seconds.
According to his agent Micheals, Mayo was tempted by a move to the Soweto giants. However, despite his eagerness, Chiefs’ offer arrived just a few seconds too late, preventing the transfer from happening.
Mayo has recently signed a lucrative deal with Algerian powerhouse CR Belouizdad.
“Chiefs had also put down a significant offer for Khanyisa, a few moments before we had actually penned our deal on CRB (CR Belouizdad),” Micheals said on Sports Night Amplified.
“I do think had the deal fallen out with CRB, Khanyisa would’ve gone to Chiefs.
“It wasn’t a money thing, Khanyisa wanted to go to Chiefs, there is no question about it. His father played for Chiefs, it has a bit of heritage for him.
“But he always wanted to leave South Africa. It’s something that he’d always expressed to me, I’ve been representing him since 2018.
“I think Chiefs fell short because they were seconds too late from the offer that was made from CRB.”
