João Paulo

In September 2026, reports mentioned a rejected offer of €2 million from Al Akhdoud, while other reports detailed a series of rejected bids from the same club rising from €1 million to a final €1.5 million. In August 2026, a release clause of €3 million was reported, and offers from Zamalek (€1.2-€1.5 million) and Al-Ahly (around €1 million) were also reportedly rejected. His Transfermarkt value was listed at €900,000 in September 2026. The player completed a transfer from Otelul to FCSB in February 2026 for a fee of €600,000, after a prior bid of €300,000 was reportedly turned down.

Our valuation is driven by multiple rejected offers for João Paulo in August-September 2026, ranging from €1.5 million to €2 million, from Saudi and Egyptian clubs. The upper bound is set by the player's reported €3 million release clause, which the club owner has stated he wants. While the owner recently criticized the player's performance, the significant interest and the profit to be made over his €600,000 transfer fee from February 2026 suggest a sale is likely in this range.
