Georgiy Sudakov

The most definitive valuation is the August 2025 transfer to Benfica, reportedly for a €27 million base fee plus €5 million in potential bonuses. Prior to this, reports from August 2025 state Napoli had a €40 million offer rejected during the 2023/24 season, and later made a lower offer of €20 million plus bonuses in summer 2025 which was also declined. Throughout early 2025, Shakhtar's asking price was consistently reported in the €40 million to over €50 million range. Other reported interest included a potential €35 million (£30m) bid from West Ham in July 2025 and a rejected €20 million offer from Fiorentina in winter 2025. Market valuations from CIES and Transfermarkt in early 2025 placed him at €49.5 million and €32 million, respectively.

Our valuation is anchored by Heorhii Sudakov's confirmed transfer to Benfica in August 2025 for a guaranteed €27 million, potentially rising to €32 million with bonuses. This figure represents a significant decrease from Shakhtar Donetsk's earlier asking prices of €40-50 million and a rejected €40 million offer from Napoli, reportedly influenced by the player's performance at the European Championship, which ultimately made the lower fee acceptable.
