Dante Vanzeir

The most recent completed transfer with a reported fee was from Union Saint-Gilloise to New York Red Bull for €5.0M in February 2023. Subsequently, KAA Gent reportedly signed the player from New York in January 2025 for nearly €2.5 million. His market value was estimated by Transfermarkt at €5.00m in August 2025, but this was reportedly revised down to €2.00m by January 2026. In June 2026, reports stated that Cercle Brugge declined their purchase option because it was considered too expensive, though no specific figure was mentioned.

Our valuation is driven by Dante Vanzeir's declining trajectory and market value since his move to Gent. The reported €2.5 million fee Gent paid in January 2025 serves as a high-end historical benchmark, but his subsequent lack of playing time and Gent's eagerness to sell, coupled with a more recent Transfermarkt valuation of €2.0 million in January 2026, suggest a lower current value. The fact that Cercle Brugge found their purchase option too expensive indicates the price will likely settle below Gent's initial investment.
