A City staff member told Briefly News that Mayo is a vital team member, while club boss John Comitis previously stated that the striker will not be leaving the Mother City club.

The source said:

“This club has shown high ambitions with the quality of players brought in during the transfer window. They are building a strong squad, and of course, Mayo, as the top scorer, is part of those plans.”

City has brought several new faces during the current transfer window, such as Kamohelo Mokotjo, Kayden Francis, Fortune Makaringe, and Angolan star Carlinhos.

Fans do not rate Mayo

Local football fans said on social media that Mayo could be overpriced as they feel the 25-year-old is not worth the high transfer fee.
