Jahmai Simpson-Pusey

In mid-2026, reports consistently mentioned an €8 million purchase option in the loan deal to FC Köln, which the German club was reportedly negotiating to reduce. Earlier, in January 2026, when the loan was initiated, reports cited varying figures for the buy option, including €8 million, a Manchester City valuation of around £10 million (~€11.8 million), and a Köln offer of around £5 million (~€5.9 million). The player's Transfermarkt value was reported at €4 million in late 2025/early 2026 and €5 million in July 2025.

Our valuation is driven by the loan-to-buy deal for Jahmai Simpson-Pusey between Manchester City and FC Köln. Multiple reports from early to mid-2026 consistently mention an €8 million purchase option, which Köln is reportedly negotiating down. This suggests a final fee will likely land in the mid-single-digit million range, below the original option price.
