Aleksandr Chernikov

In June 2026, reports indicated Greek club AEK Athens was prepared to pay €7 million for the midfielder, whose market value was concurrently estimated by Transfermarkt at €8 million. A year prior, in July 2025, he was linked with Porto when his Transfermarkt value was also reported at €8 million, though this interest was reportedly denied.

Our valuation for Aleksandr Chernikov is driven by reports from June 2026 that AEK Athens is prepared to pay €7 million. This is balanced against his consistent Transfermarkt valuation of €8 million. With a long contract until 2029, Krasnodar is in a strong negotiating position, supporting a range that extends slightly above his market value.
