Cyril Ngonge

Most recently, in April 2026, reports indicated Espanyol would not trigger a €16 million purchase option and that the player's market value had dropped to €8 million. The January 2026 loan to Espanyol reportedly included this non-mandatory option valued between €15-€16 million plus add-ons. Around the same time, Atalanta was linked with a €20 million valuation, and Porto's interest was reportedly valued at approximately €15 million. The preceding loan to Torino in July 2025 involved multiple reported figures for the purchase option, ranging from €7 million to €18 million. Prior to that, in January 2025, Bologna reportedly offered a loan with a €12 million option, while Napoli sought a fee closer to their initial investment. This investment was the completed transfer from Hellas Verona to Napoli in January 2024 for a reported €18 million.

Our valuation is driven by Cyril Ngonge's €18 million transfer to Napoli in January 2024, which serves as a high-water mark. His subsequent lack of playing time and multiple loans have clearly diminished his market value. This is evidenced by Espanyol declining a purchase option reportedly set at €15-16 million in 2026 and numerous loan negotiations in 2025 with total valuations centering around €8-12 million, leading to our current estimate.
