André Luiz

In January 2026, André Luiz's transfer to Olympiakos was reportedly for a base fee of €6.75 million, with a potential €9.5 million in add-ons. During the same period, reports indicated Rio Ave rejected a formal offer from Benfica worth €12 million plus €3 million in bonuses. Rio Ave's asking price was consistently cited between €15 million and €20 million, with a reported release clause of €20 million. In December 2025, interest from clubs like Olympique Marseille, Porto, and Bayer Leverkusen was also linked to a €15 million valuation. This followed his transfer from Estrela Amadora to Rio Ave in January 2025 for a reported €2.2 million.

Our valuation is driven by the consistent and widely reported negotiations for André Luiz in January 2026. The key data points are Benfica's rejected formal offer of €12 million plus €3 million in bonuses, and Rio Ave's firm asking price, which was consistently reported as being between €15 million and €20 million. While his eventual transfer to Olympiakos was for a lower base fee, the common ownership between the two clubs suggests this figure may not reflect the true market value established during competitive negotiations with external clubs like Benfica.
