Bart Verbruggen

Recent reports from February 2026 state Chelsea launched a €50 million bid and were prepared to meet a £50 million (approx. €59 million) price tag, with Brighton reportedly wanting in excess of that figure. Throughout 2025, Brighton's asking price was consistently reported between €60 million and €70 million, with some reports mentioning a £60 million (approx. €71 million) fee. During the same period, various market valuations were cited, including €60.8 million by a research agency, €35 million by Transfermarkt, and other estimates ranging from €25 million to €40 million. In late 2024, a potential move to Manchester United was linked with a fee of at least £30 million (approx. €36 million). His last completed transfer was from Anderlecht to Brighton in July 2023 for €20 million.

Our valuation for Bart Verbruggen is driven by multiple, consistent reports of high interest from top clubs like Chelsea and Bayern Munich. The range is anchored by Chelsea's reported €50 million bid at the low end and Brighton's frequently cited asking price of €60-70 million at the high end. Given the competitive interest and his significant development since his €20 million transfer, a final fee around the €60 million mark appears highly probable.
