Kees Smit

Recent reports from June 2026 consistently state AZ Alkmaar's likely demand is €60 million, with some suggesting it could exceed that figure. A potential range of €60-80 million was reported in April 2026, while other reports from that period cited a minimum price of €50 million. A bid of €50 million from Real Madrid was reportedly submitted and rejected in February 2026, a month where valuations varied widely in reports, from a €30-35 million asking price to a potential fee as high as €75 million. In late 2025, reports claimed AZ had already rejected an offer package that could have risen to €60 million and would not sell for €45-50 million. Transfermarkt's valuation was cited as €25 million in June 2026.

Our valuation for Kees Smit is driven by numerous consistent reports from early to mid-2026 stating AZ Alkmaar's asking price is €60 million. This is corroborated by reports of a rejected €50 million bid from Real Madrid in February 2026 and a separate rejected package valued at up to €60 million in December 2025, indicating the club's firm stance. The high level of interest from multiple top-tier European clubs supports a valuation at the upper end of the reported figures.
