Emiliano Buendía

In March 2026, a former scout reportedly stated Aston Villa would not receive the £33 million (~€39 million) they originally paid. In August 2025, his market value was estimated by Transfermarkt at €15 million. In June 2025, reports indicated Aston Villa were prepared to sell for a fee of £20 million (~€24 million). This followed a May 2025 report that Bayer Leverkusen would not activate a €20 million purchase option after his loan. Earlier, in January 2025, Aston Villa's valuation was reportedly set at approximately £30 million (~€35 million).

Our valuation for Emiliano Buendía is shaped by several key figures from recent reports. The range is anchored at the lower end by a reported €15 million market value and at the upper end by Aston Villa's reported asking price of around €24 million in mid-2025. Bayer Leverkusen's decision not to activate a €20 million purchase option provides a strong reference point, suggesting his value at that time was perceived to be below that figure, leading to our estimate of €18 million.
