Kees Smit

Recent reports from early 2026 frequently cite a potential fee of up to €75 million, with AZ Alkmaar reportedly valuing the player at a minimum of €60 million. During this period, a reported €50 million bid from Real Madrid was deemed insufficient, though another report mentioned a lower valuation of €30-35 million. In late 2025, it was widely reported that AZ had rejected offers of €60 million and would not sell for €45-50 million. Earlier reports in mid-to-late 2025 had suggested lower figures, generally in the €23-30 million range, often referencing the need to break the club's previous €22-25 million transfer record. Transfermarkt values were reported at €22 million and €25 million in early 2026.

Our valuation for Kees Smit is driven by numerous, consistent reports from late 2025 and early 2026 stating AZ Alkmaar's asking price is €60 million or more. The most credible rumours indicate the club has already rejected offers of €60 million and will not sell for €45-50 million, with some sources suggesting the final fee could reach €75 million. These recent, high valuations from multiple outlets override earlier, lower estimates from mid-2025 that were in the €25-35 million range.
