David Watson

In February 2026, a deadline day bid of €578,000 from Bolton was reportedly rejected by Kilmarnock. Reports from November 2025 mentioned that Kilmarnock had sought a 'seven-figure' fee (over €1,150,000) in the summer 2025 window. The same reports suggested a potential tribunal compensation fee for a domestic transfer could be around €740,000. Across various reports from September 2025 to February 2026, his Transfermarkt market value was cited as being between €1,500,000 and €1,800,000.

Our valuation is driven by the specific context of David Watson's expiring contract. The range is anchored by a rejected bid of €578,000 from Bolton in February 2026 and a reported potential tribunal fee of around €740,000. Widespread interest from larger clubs like Rangers, Celtic, and Lazio suggests a negotiated January fee would need to exceed this compensation figure to persuade Kilmarnock to sell mid-season during a relegation battle.
