Adam Karabec

In June 2026, reports indicated Olympique Lyonnais would not exercise their €3.5 million purchase option, and his market value was cited as €7 million amid interest from Anderlecht. The loan to Lyon in August 2025 reportedly included that €3.5 million option, with his market value estimated at €4 million at the time. Prior to that, in June 2025, a fee of €3 million was reportedly agreed with Hamburger SV. Throughout 2024 and 2025, HSV's purchase option was consistently reported between €3 million and €4.2 million, which the club ultimately deemed too high.

Our valuation is driven by the recent history of loan-to-buy options for Adam Karabec. Olympique Lyonnais declined a €3.5 million option in June 2026, and Hamburger SV previously declined an option valued at around €4.2 million in 2025, considering it too expensive. These declined options suggest his value is below those figures, while a previously reported agreed fee of €3 million with HSV provides a solid floor for the estimate.
