When you’ve just clinched your eighth straight Premier Soccer League title, it’s only natural people start paying attention to the value you bring to the pitch — and not just in terms of trophies.
Mamelodi Sundowns are dominating both on the scoreboard and in the player valuation charts.
It turns out, some of the most expensive players in South African football right now are all wearing yellow and blue.
Let’s break down the top five most valuable players currently lighting up Chloorkop.
Lucas Ribeiro Tops the Charts at Over R52 Million
Leading the pack is Lucas Ribeiro, Sundowns’ dynamic second striker.
Valued at a staggering €2.5 million, that translates to just over R51.8 million.
His technical ability, flair, and consistent performances have made him a hot commodity — and it’s no surprise he’s considered the crown jewel in the Sundowns squad right now.
Iqraam Rayners Just Behind at Nearly R50 Million
Another attacker making serious waves is Iqraam Rayners, who’s now estimated at €2.4 million, or roughly R49.75 million.
As a recent recruit, Rayners has wasted no time showing his worth — and his rising value reflects just how much impact he’s had in a short space of time.
Mokoena and Allende Neck-and-Neck at R48 Million Each
In midfield, it’s hard to separate the importance of Teboho Mokoena and Marcelo Allende.
Both are now valued at €2.3 million, meaning they’re worth around R47.68 million each.
While they bring different styles to the pitch — Mokoena known for his box-to-box grit and Allende for his creativity — their contribution is equally appreciated.
Clubs might price them differently depending on what they’re looking for, but either way, they’re both top-tier.
Tashreeq Matthews Clocks in at Over R41 Million
Next up is winger Tashreeq Matthews, whose market value sits at €2 million — that’s about R41.46 million.
At just 24, his speed and flair make him a nightmare for defenders and a player with serious resale potential.
Expect his value to climb even higher if his development continues at this pace.
Aubrey Modiba Still Going Strong at R37 Million
At 29, Aubrey Modiba proves experience still pays.
With a valuation of €1.8 million, or R37.3 million, he remains one of the top earners on the team.
Despite creeping toward his 30s, Modiba is still going strong and showing his younger teammates how it’s done.
Who Deserves Top Billing at Sundowns?
With such stacked talent and sky-high market values, debates are heating up.
Is Ribeiro rightly the most valuable? Is someone like Mokoena underpriced considering his consistency? Or is Rayners’ valuation a little premature?
Whatever your opinion, one thing is clear: Mamelodi Sundowns aren’t just PSL champions — they’re a financial powerhouse when it comes to player assets.
