Ko Itakura

In June 2026, reports listed Ko Itakura's market value at €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, completed for a reported base fee of €10.5 million, potentially rising to €12.5 million with bonuses. Prior to that move, in mid-2025, various reports linked him with a release clause ranging from €10 million to €15 million, with Eintracht Frankfurt and PSV facing asking prices of €12 million. In August 2024, PSV reportedly had bids up to €15 million plus bonuses rejected by Borussia Mönchengladbach, who were said to be demanding more.

Our valuation is driven by the recent August 2025 transfer of Ko Itakura to Ajax for a fee reported between €10.5 million and €12.5 million. While this provides a strong historical anchor, his placement on the transfer list just one year later, combined with a reported decline in market value to €8 million, suggests a lower current price. The range reflects a likely depreciated value, balancing Ajax's desire to recoup their investment against the current market signals.
