James Eto'o

In August 2026, reports mentioned an initial offer from Qarabag was rejected by CSKA Sofia, with the player's Transfermarkt value cited at €1.8 million. Earlier, in January 2026, a potential buyout clause of approximately €3.0 million was reportedly discussed during contract talks. Throughout 2025 and early 2026, his market value was consistently estimated at €1.5 million by Transfermarkt. This followed his completed transfer from Botev Plovdiv to CSKA Sofia in September 2024 for a reported fee of €1.0 million.

Our valuation for James Eto'o is primarily driven by the reported €3.0 million buyout clause proposed during his recent contract negotiations. This, combined with his long-term extension until 2029, gives his club significant leverage. The valuation is further supported by his €1.0 million transfer in 2024 and a consistently rising market value, with a recent rejected offer from Qarabag suggesting the club's expectations are high.
