Ko Itakura

Recent reports from June 2026 mention a Transfermarkt value of €8 million, down from a reported €10 million in January 2026. The most significant recent transaction was his August 2025 transfer from Borussia Mönchengladbach to Ajax, with reports citing a fee between €10.5 million and €12.5 million, including bonuses. Prior to that move, in mid-2025, Gladbach's asking price was reportedly around €10-€12 million, with a release clause also mentioned in that range. In late 2024, PSV was linked with a move, with reports mentioning rejected bids up to €15 million plus bonuses and an asking price from Gladbach exceeding €15 million.

Our valuation is driven by Ko Itakura's transfer to Ajax in August 2025 for a fee between €10.5M and €12.5M. However, just one year later, reports indicate Ajax is actively looking to sell him to reduce their wage bill, and his market value according to Transfermarkt has reportedly dropped to €8M. This suggests Ajax will likely have to accept a loss on their initial investment to facilitate a move.
