Alfie Devine

In January 2026, reports indicated that Preston North End's loan deal for the player includes an option to buy for a fee greater than £4 million (approximately €4.8 million), which would be a club record. The club's CEO reportedly confirmed the existence of this option in February 2026. More recently, in April 2026, there was speculation about scouting interest from Celtic, but no valuation was mentioned.

Our valuation is driven by the specific and recent reports of an option-to-buy clause included in Alfie Devine's loan to Preston North End. The fee is stated to be greater than £4 million (approx. €4.8 million), which would be a club record for Preston, indicating a strong commitment. The range accounts for this floor and the potential for higher interest from other clubs, as hinted at in the rumours.
