The Bafana Bafana star, the son of Kaizer Chiefs legend Patrick Mayo, was close to following in his father's footsteps by representing the Soweto-based outfit.
The 26-year-old confirmed that Nasreddine Nabi's side was late in submitting documents despite being ready to match CR Belouizdad's bid.
"There was a good chance of that happening, and fortunate enough, what occurred was when I (had) just signed the contract with CRB, that's when Chiefs came knocking, saying they were willing to take this amount of money for me," the former Cape Town City forward said.
"They were like an hour after I had just submitted the documents."
Mayo is still trying to find his feet at the Algerian side this season, as he has failed to contribute a goal in eight appearances in all competitions.
Nabi interested in re-signing 2 ex-Kaizer Chiefs stars
Briefly News earlier reported that Nabi is interested in bringing back two former Kaizer Chiefs players to the club in the next transfer window.
There have been talks about the Soweto Giants bringing more players in the next transfer window to improve their team's quality.
