J. Mvuka

The most recent valuation is a completed transfer in August 2026, with Bodø/Glimt reportedly paying Lorient €1.4 million. Just prior, in May 2026, his market value was estimated by Transfermarkt at €2.0 million. Earlier, in February 2026, reports indicated Celtic had a loan-to-buy option for approximately £3 million (~€3.5 million), with initial permanent deal talks ranging from £2 million to £4.5 million (~€2.35 million to €5.3 million) before medical issues altered the deal. His transfer from Bodø/Glimt to Lorient in January 2023 was for a reported €5.5 million.

Our valuation is driven by the most recent and definitive data point: the completed transfer of Joel Mvuka from Lorient to Bodø/Glimt in August 2026 for €1.4 million. This figure reflects a significant decrease from both his original €5.5 million transfer to Lorient and the circa €3.5 million option-to-buy fee negotiated with Celtic. The decline is logically explained by his unsuccessful loan spell and reported medical complications, making the recent transfer fee the most accurate reflection of his current market value.
