Why the Mihlali Mayambela move to Kaizer Chiefs may not work out
With the rumours swirling that Mihlali Mayambela may be considering a move from Aris Limassol to Kaizer Chiefs, whether the player will actually make the move back home is now seemingly less likely.
The 28-year-old Bafana Bafana player is currently filling a key role at the club in Cyprus, and a hefty price tag might dissuade the Soweto Giants from making a big move for his signature.
According to Kick Off, Chiefs would have to fork out around R4 million for Mayambela.
The website also reports that Limassol may also invoke the option to renew Mayambela's contract.
