Kauã Elias

Kauã Elias transferred from Fluminense to Shakhtar Donetsk in February 2025 for a reported €17 million. Throughout late 2025 and 2026, his Transfermarkt value was cited at €15 million. Reports from January 2026 indicated Shakhtar's asking price varied from €22 million to €35 million. By April 2026, a bid of €22 million from Flamengo was reportedly rejected. In May 2026, Porto was said to have offered €22 million for 80% of his rights, while Shakhtar's valuation was reported between €35 million and €40 million. Most recently, in August 2026, Galatasaray reportedly offered €30 million plus €5 million in bonuses, while Shakhtar's asking price was cited as high as €45 million, with a figure of £30 million (approximately €35 million) also frequently mentioned.

Our valuation for Kauã Elias is driven by Shakhtar Donetsk's consistently high and escalating asking price, which reached between €35 million and €45 million in mid-2026. This is supported by multiple rejected bids at lower values, such as €22 million, and a recent reported offer of €30 million plus bonuses from Galatasaray. The player's significant appreciation since his €17 million transfer in February 2025 and interest from numerous top European clubs solidifies this high valuation.
