Mduduzi Shabalala’s salary at Kaizer Chiefs is undetermined. He signed a five-year contract that did not disclose his salary.
After signing Mduduzi to a 5-year deal, Kaizer Chiefs received an offer of R3.4 million for the player from Belgian club KVC Westerlo.
Mduduzi had flown to Europe, specifically Spain and Belgium, for trials. KVC Westerlo was impressed with his talent and wanted to sign in.
Unfortunately, Kaizer Chiefs rejected KVC Westerlo’s offer because it did not meet the Chiefs’ evaluation of the youngster.
Shabalala’s monthly salary would have increased significantly had he gone to Belgium.
Current market value
Mduduzi Shabalala has a current market value of €450,000. The value is higher than the €200,000 offered by KVC Westerlo.
How does his salary rank at Kaizer Chiefs
Mduduzi Shabalala’s salary at Kaizer Chiefs shows he is not the highest-paid player at the club. The highest-paid footballer at Kaizer Chiefs is Keagan Dolly.
Keagan Dolly receives R1.4 million from Kaizer Chiefs every month. He is followed by Khama Billiat at R850,000, Itumeleng Khune at R480,000, and Zitha Kwinika at R370,000.
In the top 20 player salaries at Kaizer Chiefs, Mduduzi Shabalala does not feature in it since he hasn’t disclosed his income. Austin Dube, the 20th player on the list, received R80,000 before moving to Richards Bay FC in December 2023.
Noteworthy, Shabalala’s salary could be at the lowest tier at Kaizer Chiefs. One can estimate that he receives less than R80,000 monthly from the PSL club.
Besides, he has not played many games for the Chiefs to justify a significant salary. He has only appeared in 11 matches, played 327 minutes for the club, made one assist, and has not scored a goal, so far.
Properties and cars
At 20 years old and having signed a professional contract at 18, Mduduzi Shabalala has not made much money to buy a lot of property. Also, he has not shown any lavish lifestyle on his social media handles.
The Chiefs’ midfielder prefers to focus on his football career. Thus, his house and its value are undetermined.
When it comes to cars, the youngster has never uploaded photos of himself driving a vehicle of any kind.
Mduduzi Shabalala’s net worth
