Franko Kovačević

In November 2025, Celje's president reportedly stated a target of €5 million or more for a potential transfer, referencing previous record sales of the same amount. Throughout October and September 2025, the player's market value was consistently cited by Transfermarkt as €700,000. It was also reported in October 2025 that Hajduk Split would likely be unable to afford the fee Celje would demand.

Our valuation is driven by the public statements from Celje's president in November 2025, who set a target transfer fee of at least five million euros for Franko Kovačević. This high asking price is supported by the player's long contract until 2028 and reported interest from clubs in Spain and Italy. While this is significantly higher than his reported market value, the club's strong negotiating position suggests a multi-million euro fee is required, with our estimate reflecting a likely outcome amid the current lack of formal offers.
