Ismaël Baouf

In November 2025, reports suggested Ismaël Baouf's transfer fee could exceed €1,500,000 due to high interest and his long contract. Around the same time, his market value was consistently estimated by Transfermarkt at €700,000. In October 2025, it was reported that his club, SC Cambuur, was hoping to receive 'millions' in a potential sale. At the time of his transfer from RSC Anderlecht II to SC Cambuur in August 2025, his Transfermarkt value was reported to be €500,000.

Our valuation is driven by the significant and widespread interest from numerous clubs across Europe, including Lille, Club Brugge, Borussia Dortmund, and the top Dutch teams. While his Transfermarkt value is low, his status as a U20 World Cup winner, coupled with a very long contract until 2028, gives his club, SC Cambuur, a strong negotiating position. Reports suggesting a potential fee of over €1.5 million and the club's hope for 'millions' inform the upper end of our range.
