James Penrice

In January 2026, reports indicated that AEK Athens rejected a bid from Rangers valued at approximately £3 million, or nearly €3.5 million. Around the same period (December 2025 - January 2026), his market value was estimated by Transfermarkt at €2.5 million. This followed his completed transfer from Hearts to AEK Athens in July 2025 for a reported fee of €2.3 million. At the time of that transfer, his Transfermarkt value was noted as €1.8 million.

Our valuation is driven by the widely reported rejected bid of approximately €3.5 million from Rangers in January 2026. Considering James Penrice was acquired by AEK Athens for €2.3 million just six months prior and is considered a key player, it is clear AEK would demand a significantly higher fee to consider a sale, placing his value comfortably above the rejected offer.
