In late 2025, reports consistently cited an €8 million buy-back clause held by Bayer Leverkusen, which the player expects to be activated. This updated an earlier November 2025 report that suggested the clause was between €5 and €6 million. His Transfermarkt value was listed at €5 million in multiple reports from September to December 2025. This follows his completed transfer from Bayer Leverkusen U19 to Red Bull Salzburg in July 2025 for a fee reported between €2 million and €2.5 million. Earlier, in March 2025, it was reported that Leverkusen would have required a minimum of €4.5 million for a permanent sale while he was still a youth player.

Our valuation is anchored by the widely reported €8 million buy-back clause that Bayer Leverkusen is expected to activate in the summer of 2026. This figure represents the most concrete and likely near-term transfer fee. The upper end of our range reflects the potential for an immediate resale to one of the interested top-tier clubs, such as Real Madrid or Chelsea, given his strong performances since his €2 million transfer to Salzburg.
