Franjo Ivanović

Recent reports from May 2026 state Benfica will find it difficult to recover the €22.8 million fee they paid for the player in July 2025. As of March 2026, his Transfermarkt value was reported at €20 million, and his contract contains a €100 million release clause. The completed transfer from Union Saint-Gilloise to Benfica in July 2025 involved a fixed fee of €22.8 million plus potential bonuses. Prior to that move, Union SG reportedly rejected offers around €20 million and had an asking price of €25-30 million.

Our valuation for Franjo Ivanović is primarily driven by his recent transfer history and current situation at Benfica. He was acquired for a significant €22.8 million in July 2025, but after a disappointing season, reports indicate Benfica is willing to sell and may struggle to recoup their initial investment. This context, combined with a reported market value of €20 million as of March 2026, suggests a decrease in his current transfer value, leading to our estimate being below the fee paid by Benfica.
