James Penrice

In January 2026, reports suggested Rangers made an approach with a willingness to offer a high but unspecified amount, which AEK rejected, indicating they would not sell for even double or triple their purchase price (implying a valuation to them of €4.6M-€6.9M). In December 2025, his Transfermarkt value was reported as €2.5 million. His transfer from Hearts to AEK in July 2025 was completed for a fee of €2.3 million (also reported as nearly £2 million). At the time of that transfer, his Transfermarkt value was cited as €1.8 million.

Our valuation is driven by the recent €2.3 million transfer fee James Penrice commanded in July 2025, coupled with strong subsequent interest from Rangers in January 2026. AEK Athens' firm 'not for sale' stance, and reports that they would not sell for even double or triple the purchase price, indicates his value to the club has significantly increased, pushing his current market value well above the recent fee.
