Elias Jelert

Reports from April 2026 indicate Southampton are unlikely to activate their £8.5 million (approx. €10 million) purchase option. This option, also reported at €9 million, was set in August 2025. In July 2025, Galatasaray reportedly demanded a €1.5 million loan fee. In May 2025, it was reported Galatasaray accepted an offer close to the €9 million they paid for him. His market value was estimated by Transfermarkt at €7.5 million in June 2025 and €7 million in August 2025. The player's last permanent transfer was from FC Copenhagen to Galatasaray in July 2024 for €9 million.

Our valuation for Elias Jelert is driven by his €9 million transfer to Galatasaray in July 2024 and a subsequent loan to Southampton which includes a purchase option reported between €9 million and £8.5 million (approx. €10 million). Despite reports of unsatisfactory performance, Galatasaray reportedly accepted an offer close to €9 million in May 2025. The lower end of our range is influenced by a consistent Transfermarkt valuation of €7-€7.5 million and Southampton's reported reluctance to meet the option price, suggesting his current value is slightly below the initial investment.
