Aaron Bibout

In July 2025, reports indicated Västerås SK's asking price was around €2.7 million (30 million SEK) and that they rejected an initial bid from Genk of just under €2 million, before a transfer was completed from Västerås SK to KRC Genk for a fee of €2.2 million. By April 2026, his Transfermarkt value was reported at €2.0 million. Following interest from multiple clubs, Genk reportedly established a minimum asking price of €15 million in June 2026. Around the same time, his Transfermarkt value was updated and consistently reported at €3.5 million through October 2026, though reports noted this sum would be insufficient for a transfer.

Our valuation is driven by Genk's reported minimum asking price of €15 million set in summer 2026 in response to widespread interest. While this figure sets a high ceiling, the reports of serious and progressing negotiations with Strasbourg suggest a compromise is likely. Considering Aaron Bibout's successful season after a €2.2 million transfer in 2025, our estimate reflects a significant but realistic profit for Genk, landing below their initial asking price.
