Daniel Karlsbakk

In July 2026, reports indicated Sarpsborg 08 valued the player at approximately €4.5 million (£3.8m) and rejected a lower offer from Stoke City; his Transfermarkt value was also cited as €4.5 million. Earlier, in February 2026, Sarpsborg's asking price was reportedly between €8 million and €10 million, and a transfer to Trabzonspor for a reported €9 million was said to have failed on deadline day. During that period, his Transfermarkt value was listed as €5 million. In January 2026, it was reported that Trabzonspor had reached an agreement for a fee of around €5.5 million. For historical context, he completed a transfer from SC Heerenveen to Sarpsborg 08 in January 2025 for a reported €700,000, and from Viking to SC Heerenveen in January 2023 for €2.5 million.

Our valuation is driven by Sarpsborg 08's most recent reported valuation of Daniel Seland Karlsbakk at approximately €4.5 million in July 2026, which serves as a firm floor after they rejected a lower bid. While the club's asking price was significantly higher (€8m-€10m) in early 2026, with a €9 million deal reportedly failing, the latest figure suggests a market correction. The estimate of €5.5 million reflects the fee reportedly agreed with Trabzonspor in January 2026 and accounts for continued interest from multiple Championship clubs, which could drive the final price above the new baseline.
