Kaizer Chiefs captain Yusuf Maart is looking for a house in Austria after joining SV Ried. Amakhosi lost an industrious captain but gained millions of Rands.
According to Transfermarkt, Kaizer Chiefs have banked an estimated R20 million after Maart’s move to SV Ried.
Once cleared, the funds will significantly boost the club’s transfer budget for the upcoming season, particularly for the marquee signing of Feisal Salum from Azam FC in Tanzania.

Related reports revealed that Kaizer Chiefs previously tabled two rejected offers which did not meet Azam’s valuation. With the Maart deal done and dusted, Amakhosi will firm up a third bid.
Coach Nasreddine Nabi believes securing Salum would significantly strengthen the engine room, adding both a direct goal threat and creative spark.
