Bart Verbruggen

Recent reports from May and April 2026 consistently cite a Brighton price tag of £50 million (approx. €59M) or a range of €50-60M. In February 2026, Chelsea reportedly launched a €50 million bid, with other reports from that month also mentioning a £50M valuation and a potential cost of €60M. Earlier, in 2025, valuations varied more widely, with Brighton's asking price reported between €60M and €70M, while some reports linked to specific clubs mentioned lower figures like €25-40M. The earliest rumours from late 2024 suggested a fee around £30 million (approx. €36M). His completed transfer from Anderlecht to Brighton in July 2023 was for a fee of €20 million.

Our valuation is driven by consistent reports from early 2026 indicating a firm asking price from Brighton set at or above £50 million (approx. €59M), with some reports suggesting figures as high as €60-70M. This is strongly supported by a reported €50 million bid from Chelsea in February 2026 and widespread interest from numerous top European clubs. The valuation reflects the significant profit Brighton expects on their initial €20 million investment for Bart Verbruggen, whose stock has clearly risen.
