Ko Itakura

In February 2026, reports indicated that attempts by Borussia Mönchengladbach and VfL Wolfsburg to sign the player failed for financial reasons. His Transfermarkt value was noted as €10 million in January 2026. The most significant recent event was his transfer from Borussia Mönchengladbach to Ajax in August 2025, with reported fees ranging from a €10.5 million base fee to a total package of €12.5 million. Prior to this move, in 2024 and early 2025, he was linked with numerous clubs. PSV reportedly had bids up to €15 million rejected in August 2024, with Gladbach demanding more. Various reports between April and June 2025 mentioned a release clause at Gladbach valued between €10 million and €15 million.

Our valuation is driven by the recent August 2025 transfer of Ko Itakura to Ajax for a fee package reportedly worth up to €12.5 million. This is reinforced by previously rejected bids of up to €15 million from PSV in August 2024. Given his important role at Ajax and a long-term contract until 2029, his value is considered stable and strong, slightly appreciating from his recent transfer fee.
