Kaizer Chiefs: Top FIVE most valuable players and their staggering price tags
Kaizer Chiefs is one of the richest football clubs in South Africa. So, it comes as no suprise that Amakhosi players are amongst the most expensive in the Transfer market.
Kaizer Chiefs are well-known for their incredible buying power.
In fact, at one point Amakhosi had the three highest-paid players in the PSL – Keagan Dolly, Samir Nurkovic and Khama Billiat – at the same time. Now, despite continuous failed campaigns in the Betway Premiership, the Soweto giants still boast some of the most valuable players in the entire PSL.
* Please note that all of these values are based off of the reported latest player values on Transfermarkt. Yusuf Maart (Amakhosi Captain) – (R20.7 MILLION)
Chiefs captain Maart is valued at approximately, $1 million.
This equates to almost R21 million (R20.7 million). Thus, making him the most highly valued player in the transfer market.
2. Given Msimango/Reeve Frosler – R18.7 MILLION
Interestingly, two under-utilised defenders share the honour of being Amakhosi's second-highest most valuable players. Both centre back, Msimango and right back, Frosler have an estimated market value of $900 000 which equotes to R18.65 million (roughly R18.7 million).
3. Ashley Du Preez – R17.6 MILLION
The speedy attacker has blown hot and cold since joining Chiefs from Stellies a few seasons ago. However, whilst his transfer market evaluation has dipped to $850 000 (R17.6 millin), he is still one of the most valuable players at Amakhosi.
Moreover, he is also one of the most highly valued players in the PSL today.
4. Mduduzi Shabalala – R14.5 MILLION
Mdu Shabalala is one of the fastest-rising young talents in the PSL. A couple of seasons ago he was playing for Amakhosi's DDC side. Now, he is a regular starter in the Chiefs senior side and one of the most valuable players in the PSL. 'Mdu' is valued at $700 000 which is approximately R14.5 million.
5. Rushwin Dortley/Bradley Cross – R13.5 MILLION
Both youngsters were recently signed when Nasreddine Nabi took over the reins at Chiefs. So, whilst neither transfer fee was disclosed, we know both players are worth big money.
Furthermore, both Dortley and Cross are valued at $R650 000. Meaning, both men have an estimated transfermarkt value of R13.47 million (R13.5 million).
Blom was one of the most valuable players before he returned to the United Stated. His market value currently sits at $900 000 (R18.7 million). Thus, mmaking him one of the most valuable players to leave Chiefs in recent seasons.
Brutal defender, Inacio Miguel has an estimated market evaluation that sees him worth $600 000 (R12.43 million). Meaning, if any of the players on this list depart from Naturena, Miguel will become one of the top five most valuable players left at Chiefs.

Fiston Mayele to leave Pyramids, Kaizer Chiefs to pounce?
Kaizer Chiefs target Fiston Mayele could leave Pyramids after heloing the Egyptian club to their first CAF Champions League title. The 30-year-old striker shared a heartfelt farewell message on social media, which indicated his departure. He played an instrumental role in helping Pyramids win the Champions League where he scored in the semi-final and also the final. 'Two seasons with Pyramids, 41 goals in all competitions. Thank you very much to the whole team and thanks to all these people for their help in everything, Alhamdulillah,' Mayele shared on Instagram. According to Soccer Laduma , Pyramids are looking to offer Mayele with a two-year contract offer which is reportedly close to US$3 million (approximately R53 million). 'The only way Mayele can join Kaizer Chiefs is if the player himself wants to reunite with coach Nasreddine Nabi,' a source told the publication. 'It won't be because of money. Pyramids FC are offering him enough money to stay at the club or sell him to a club that can offer more money than Kaizer Chiefs. Chiefs are believed to be offering around a R5 million signing on fee to be spread in three seasons and a monthly salary of between R1 million and up to R1.5 million. So it's kind of difficult for Chiefs to sign him if it's all about money only. Unless the player himself loves to come and play for the club,' the insider said. If Mayele leaves Pyramids, he might be an option for Kaizer Chiefs but his wages might be too high.

Orlando Pirates: FIVE most valuable players and their price tags
Orlando Pirates boast some of the most exciting and valuable players in the whole PSL. Orlando Pirates have drawn interest from the likes of Kaizer Chiefs as well as clubs abroad. However, for any prospective club seeking to sign a Bucs star, they must be willing to dig deep into their pockets. This is because Pirates have some of the most valuable players in the PSL. * Please note that all of these values are based off of the reported latest player values on Transfermarkt. 1. Tshegofatso Mabasa – R37.3 MILLION Exciting and versatile attacker, Mabasa is the most highly-valued Pirates player. His $1.8 million player evaluation gives him a staggering player value of over R37 million (R37.3 million). 2. Relebohile Mofokeng/ Nkosinathi Sibisi/ Deono Van Rooyan – R33 MILLION (R33.17 MILLION) Mofokeng, Sibisi and Van Rooyan all share a transfer market value estimation of $1.6 million. This equates to over R33 million per player. So, all three men are worth roughly over R33 million. However, Mofokeng will likely be worth more than Sibisi and Van Rooyan for prospective clubs. Interestingly, Sibisi is one of the men earmarked to become the next Pirates captain. Meanwhile, Van Rooyan is one of the most valuable signings made by Pirates in recent seasons after joining the Bucs at the start of the season. 3. Patrick Maswanganyi – R25 MILLION (R24.87 MILLION) Maswanganyi has a market value of $1.2 million which is almost R25 million (R24.87 MILLION). So, this sees him as one of the most valuable players at Pirates. Furtermore, he is also one of the most valuable attackers in the PSL. However, despite his R25 million market value, reports claim that Pirates have slapped a R40-million price tag on their star attacker. 4. Sipho Chaine, Tapelo Xoki, Thalenthe Mbatha, Monnapule Saleng – R20.7 MILLION Chaine, Xoki, Mbatha and Saleng all have an estimated transfer market value of $1 million. Meaning, all four talented Bucs stars are worth over R20 million (R20.7 million). This speaks volumes to the depth in the current Bucs side. Chaine has gone from playing for the Bucs DDC side to being one of the most high-valued goalkeepers in the PSL. Meanwhile, Xoki is another Pirates star shortlisted to take over the Bucs captaincy from Innocent Maela. Whilst, Mbatha has been one of, if not, the best Bucs signings in recent memory. Meanwhile, Saleng has not played in 2025 and his future remains in the air but that has not affected his player evaluation much. 5. Evidence Makgopa – (R18.65 MILLION) Bafana Bafana and Pirates striker, Makgopa is worth $900 000 (R18.65 million). The lanky and strong forward is a menace in the air. So, it is no suprise that he is 'highly' valued (pun-intended). He is one of the most valuable Bafana Bafana stars in the PSL. These are the latest player evaluations as of the end of the 2024/25 PSL season. Understandably, Pirates player ranks and values have skyrocketed after they reached the CAF Champions League semi-finals. Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs player values have plummeted after they finished ninth in the recent BetWay Premiership. Here are Chiefs most-valuable player and their new price tags. However, more factors are considered when determining a transfer fee such as the players age, current form and the need for that player in the prospective squad.
