Baptiste Santamaria

In July 2026, reports indicated Valencia was seeking a transfer fee of around €1 million from PAOK. An earlier proposal from PAOK was reportedly a loan covering his €600,000 salary, which Valencia did not accept. In June 2026, his market value was estimated by Transfermarkt to be between €2.5 million and €3.0 million. The player's transfer from Rennes to Valencia in August 2025 was valued at €2.0 million, reportedly structured as bonuses.

Our valuation for Baptiste Santamaría is driven by multiple reports from July 2026 stating Valencia's asking price was approximately €1 million to cover the remaining amortization from his purchase. This figure sets the upper bound of our range. However, the player's age (31), his status as surplus to requirements, and conflicting reports about a potential contract termination create significant downward pressure, suggesting a compromise fee was more likely.
