Abdoulaye Kanté

In July 2026, Transfermarkt reportedly valued the player at €5.0M. A purchase option for his loan to Saint-Étienne was reported in May 2026 to be around £3.5M (approximately €4.1M), though this has since expired. In January 2026, his market value was listed by Transfermarkt at €3.0M. This followed his completed transfer from Troyes to Middlesbrough in July 2025 for a reported fee of €3.0M.

Our valuation is driven by the €3.0M transfer fee Middlesbrough paid for Abdoulaye Kanté in July 2025 and the subsequent purchase option for Saint-Étienne, reportedly set around €4.1M. While that option has expired, his convincing loan performances and an increased Transfermarkt valuation of €5.0M suggest his value has appreciated. His long-term contract until 2030 provides Middlesbrough with a strong negotiating position.
