Kees Smit

Recent reports from April 2026 suggest a potential transfer fee in the €60-80 million range, with AZ Alkmaar's asking price widely reported as at least €60 million. Throughout early 2026, figures consistently hovered around €60 million, with speculation that widespread interest could push the price to €75 million; one report claimed a €50 million offer from Real Madrid was rejected. In late 2025, it was widely reported that AZ had already turned down offers of approximately €60 million, though some reports from that period also mentioned lower valuations between €25-30 million. Initial speculation in mid-2025 placed his value around €25-35 million.

Our valuation is driven by numerous, consistent reports from late 2025 through April 2026 indicating AZ Alkmaar's asking price for Kees Smit is a minimum of €60 million. This is strongly supported by multiple sources claiming bids of this value have already been rejected. With super-agent Jorge Mendes enlisted to maximize the fee and speculation reaching as high as €80 million, we anticipate a final fee in the upper part of this range.
