Artem Stepanov

Recent reports from September 2026 detail a €2 million purchase option for FC Utrecht and a subsequent €4 million buy-back clause for Bayer Leverkusen. At that time, his Transfermarkt value was listed at €5 million. Earlier, in July 2026, Bayer Leverkusen's management reportedly valued the player at approximately €10 million. This is a significant increase from his reported Transfermarkt value of €1.5 million in January 2026.

Our valuation for Artem Stepanov is driven by the specific clauses in his loan deal with FC Utrecht. The reported €2 million purchase option sets a floor, while Bayer Leverkusen's €4 million buy-back clause indicates their higher valuation. This is further supported by a reported internal valuation of €10 million from Leverkusen's management, which we consider the upper bound of his current potential value.
