Cathal McCarthy

In August 2026, it was reported that Nottingham Forest had made a significant seven-figure bid, implying a value of at least €1,000,000. Concurrently, multiple reports between January and August 2026 consistently cited his Transfermarkt market value at €300,000.

Our valuation is driven primarily by the August 2026 report of a 'significant seven-figure bid' from Nottingham Forest for Cathal McCarthy. This suggests a market value well in excess of his listed €300,000 Transfermarkt price. Considering his status as a 19-year-old Ireland U21 international attracting interest from multiple leagues, we believe the reported bid is a more accurate reflection of his potential transfer fee.
