Giorgos Giakoumakis

Recent reports from early 2026 indicated Atletico Mineiro made an offer for approximately €5.5 million, potentially rising to €7 million, which Cruz Azul was reportedly willing to accept before the player declined. Throughout late 2025 and 2026, his loan to PAOK was reported to include a purchase option between €4.5 million and €5 million. In December 2025, Cruz Azul's asking price was reportedly set between €9.3 million and €9.5 million. This followed his completed transfer from Atlanta United to Cruz Azul in July 2024 for a fee of €9.3 million. His Transfermarkt value was cited at €7.0 million in multiple reports during 2025.

Our valuation is driven by several strong data points. While Giorgos Giakoumakis was transferred to Cruz Azul for €9.3 million in July 2024, his subsequent loan and the club's willingness to sell indicate a lower current value. The most significant factors are the reported €4.5-€5 million purchase option for PAOK, which the club deemed too high, and a concrete offer from Atletico Mineiro reportedly between €5.5 million and €7 million, which Cruz Azul was willing to accept.
