Igor Tyjon

In February 2026, reports indicated Arsenal made a fourth bid of just over £1 million (approx. €1,150,000), which was rejected. Around the same time, Blackburn Rovers' valuation was reportedly £2 million (approx. €2,300,000). Throughout January and February 2026, multiple reports suggested a fee of around €1,150,000 would be sufficient to secure a deal, despite the rejections. This is contrasted with reports from the summer of 2025, when Arsenal had higher bids rejected, with figures mentioned as high as £2.2 million (approx. €2,500,000) or even €3,000,000. If his contract expires, Blackburn would reportedly only receive a training compensation fee of around £200,000 (approx. €230,000).

Our valuation for Igor Tyjon is primarily driven by his expiring contract status, which significantly impacts Blackburn's negotiating position. The range is anchored by Arsenal's persistent but rejected bids of around €1,200,000 at the low end and Blackburn's reported valuation of €2,300,000 at the high end. The estimate of €1,500,000 represents a likely compromise, as Blackburn will be motivated to sell for more than the minimal training compensation fee they would otherwise receive.
