Daniel Podence

According to available data, Al Shabab acquired the player from Wolverhampton in September 2024 for a fee reported to be between €5 million and €6 million, with Wolves retaining a 35% resale clause. For the current loan, Olympiacos reportedly has a purchase option, but the fee is considered 'particularly high' and is not specified. More recent reports from May 2026 suggest Al Shabab is now willing to release him for a 'symbolic amount' primarily to remove his large contract, valued at over €5 million annually, from their wage bill.

Our valuation for Daniel Podence is primarily driven by the conflict between his recent transfer fee and his current club's circumstances. Al Shabab paid a reported €5-6 million in September 2024, but their strong desire to offload his very high salary has led to reports they would accept a 'symbolic amount'. The existence of a 35% resale clause for his former club suggests Al Shabab will still seek a tangible fee, leading us to estimate a value significantly lower than their initial investment.
