Congolese midfielder Karim Kimvuidi's departure from Maritzburg United will come at a price, with the relegated club aiming to pocket millions from his sale.
Kimvuidi put in a solid shift of 34 appearances for Maritzburg in the 2022/23 season earning top marks despite the KwaZulu-Natal club's relegation.

The 21-year-old arrived at Maritzburg at the beginning of last year from DC Motema Pembe and immediately won the admiration of then coach Ernst Middendorp.
After spending several months only training and not playing official matches, Kimvuidi then got going at the start of the 2022/23 campaign.
What he has shown through only a season in the Midlands has given the Farook Kadodia led club reason to place their price tag at R15 million.
That valuation has been dropped from R20 million that was initially placed on the dreadlocked midfielder.
Kimvuidi will not go down to play in the Motsepe Foundation Championship following Maritzburg's relegation after 15 consecutive years playing in top-flight football.
At this stage, Orlando Pirates have offered R12 million, but Maritzburg have chosen to remain resilient in their not dropping their valuation any further.
There was hope Kaizer Chiefs will stand up, but they have chosen to stay away.
Interest has also come in from Egypt, Morocco, and Belgium but what will matter will be the offers tabled.
Maritzburg bought Kimvuidi for under a quarter of what they are now aiming to get.
Kimvuidi is currently back home in Congo but needs a move to take aim at getting back into the national team after previously earning caps at youth level and the CHAN team.
