PIRATES MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS
- Patrick Maswangayi /Nkosinathi Sibiya – R27 MILLION

*Please note: Xoki, Van Rooyan and Saleng are all in the top five since they all earn the third highest. Meanwhile, Maswangayi and Sibisi are the joint most valuable players at Pirates.
Maswangayi is one of Pirates’ most valuable player, according to Transfermarkt. The talented 26-year old attacker is valued at a staggering R27 MILLION (R26.84 MILLION).
Moreover, he is largely responsible for Bafana Bafana forwards Evidence Makgopa and Zakhele Lepasa being dropped to the bench under Jose Riveiro.
He is joined by Sibisi as both men share the honour of being Pirates’ most valuable players. So, Sibisi is also valued at roughly R27 MILLION (R26.84 MILLION).
Thereafter, Bafana Bafana attacker, Mabaso follows with an impressive R25 MILLION (R24.93 MILLION) reported transfer market value.
Meanwhile, defender Xoki, new recruit Van Rooyan (midfielder) and superstar Saleng are all valued at R23 MILLION. Therefore, all three men hold the ‘same’ value in the PSL transfer market.
TRANSFER MARKET VARIABLES
Ultimately, all of these values act as an estimate and are not forced on prospective clubs.
Additionally, several factors such as form, age and the vision of the prospective club in tandem with the player will determine the agreed upon transfer fee.
Meaning, if a player is in good form in the PSL, their value will go up. Meanwhile, if they are young they offer many years to a club so they will earn more. Finally, if the player is set to play frequently or they are an urgent signing due to an injury crisis in their respective position then a club will offer more too.
One of these Pirates players is even being monitored by a European-based outfit.
