Daniel Maldini

The most recent valuation stems from August 2026 reports of a deal with Cagliari for a €1 million loan plus an €8 million purchase option. In July 2026, reports mentioned Atalanta's desire to recover their initial investment of around €14 million, while Transfermarkt valued the player at €9 million. Earlier, Lazio's loan deal from January 2026 included a €1 million fee and a €14 million purchase option, which was ultimately considered too high and not exercised. Atalanta's own purchase of the player from Monza in February 2025 was completed for a reported €10 million.

Our valuation is driven by the most recent reports from August 2026 of an agreement between Atalanta and Cagliari, which includes a loan with an €8 million purchase option. This figure anchors the lower end of our range. The upper end is informed by Atalanta's consistent reported desire to recoup their initial investment, which was cited as being between €10 million and €14 million, and a June 2026 report that they would ask for a fee exceeding €10 million for a permanent sale of Daniel Maldini.
