Dário Essugo

In June 2025, Dário Essugo completed a transfer from Sporting CP to Chelsea for a reported fee of €22.3 million, with other reports from the time citing figures of €22 million and €23 million for the move. Following the transfer, his market value was estimated by Transfermarkt at €20 million in December 2025. By August 2026, multiple reports cited his updated Transfermarkt value as €15 million.

Our valuation is driven by the significant €22.3 million transfer fee Chelsea paid for Dário Essugo in June 2025, contrasted with his subsequent lack of playing time and a reported drop in market value to €15 million by August 2026. The range reflects this depreciated value, with the lower end anchored by the recent market estimate and the upper end acknowledging Chelsea's initial investment, which would influence any permanent sale negotiations.
