Angolan publication PontoZero has revealed the monthly salary and transfer details of Kaizer Chiefs defender Inacio Miguel, providing insight into the club’s investment in the 29-year-old centre-back.
Miguel, who joined Amakhosi from Angolan giants Petro de Luanda last season, has quickly cemented his role within the squad and is now seen as a captain-in-waiting following the departure of Yusuf Maart.
Despite a rocky start to his time at Naturena – picking up four yellow cards and one red in his first six games – the Portugal-born Angolan turned his form around, finishing the 2024/25 season with 28 appearances and four goals.
He was also entrusted with the captain’s armband on several occasions.
Monthly salary
According to PontoZero, Kaizer Chiefs paid approximately $250 000 (R4.4 million) for Miguel’s services.
The report also discloses that his gross monthly salary at Amakhosi is around 20 million Angolan Kwanza, which translates to about R385 000.
This places his annual earnings at roughly R4.6 million, making Miguel one of the better-compensated players currently on Kaizer Chiefs’ books.
Though his salary is substantial, it remains below the club’s past top earners such as Keagan Dolly, Khama Billiat, and Leonardo Castro, who are reportedly on packages close to double that amount.
Miguel is now entering the second year of his three-year deal with the Soweto giants and is expected to play a key leadership role in the upcoming Betway Premiership season.
The star defender has five international caps for Angola and was part of the national team squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Is Inacio Miguel worth that much money a month to Kaizer Chiefs?
