Elias Jelert

In July 2024, Elias Jelert completed a transfer from FC Copenhagen to Galatasaray for a reported €9.0M. By May 2025, reports suggested Galatasaray had accepted an offer close to that same €9M fee. Throughout mid-2025, his Transfermarkt value was cited between €7.0M and €7.5M, and Galatasaray reportedly demanded a €1.5M loan fee from interested clubs. His August 2025 loan to Southampton included a purchase option set at €9M (also reported as £8.5m, approx. €10M), which the club is now unlikely to activate following his loan spell.

Our valuation is anchored by the €9M fee Galatasaray paid for Elias Jelert in July 2024 and the identical €9M purchase option included in his subsequent loan to Southampton. However, the range and lower estimate are significantly influenced by his unsuccessful loan spell, where he received limited playing time, and recent reports that Galatasaray has told the player to find a new club, indicating a decreased market value.
