James Eto'o

In January 2026, reports indicated CSKA was prepared to include a buyout clause of approximately €3,000,000 in a new contract. Throughout 2025 and 2026, his market value was consistently reported by Transfermarkt at €1,500,000. The player's most recent completed transfer was in September 2024, when he moved from Botev Plovdiv to CSKA Sofia for a reported fee of €1,000,000.

Our valuation for James Eto'o is primarily driven by the reported long-term contract extension signed in May 2026, which resolves his previous expiring contract status and places CSKA Sofia in a strong negotiating position. The range is anchored by his €1.0M transfer fee in 2024 at the low end and the club's reported willingness to set a €3.0M buyout clause in January 2026 at the high end. The consistent €1.5M market value is noted but considered less relevant now that his contract situation has changed.
