Kevin Carlos

Recent reports from August 2026 indicate Cagliari is negotiating a loan for the player with a purchase option valued between €3.5 million and €4 million. During the same month, Samsunspor reportedly made a permanent offer of €3 million. In July 2026, Preston North End was linked with a potential loan-to-buy offer around £3m-£4m (approximately €3.5M-€4.7M). The player's Transfermarkt value was consistently cited at €4 million in July 2026. Historically, he was transferred from Basel to Nice in August 2025 for a €6 million fee.

Our valuation is driven by multiple consistent reports in August 2026 of a loan-to-buy deal with Cagliari, with the purchase option cited between €3.5 million and €4 million. This is supported by a reported permanent offer of €3 million from Samsunspor. The valuation reflects a significant decrease from the €6 million fee Nice paid for Kevin Carlos in August 2025, which is logical given his difficult subsequent season and the club's clear desire to sell.
