Ko Itakura

Based on available data, the player's Transfermarkt value was listed at €10 million in January 2026. His transfer from Borussia Mönchengladbach to Ajax in August 2025 was completed for a reported base fee of €10.5 million, rising to a total package of €12-12.5 million with bonuses. Around that time, Gladbach's asking price was reportedly €12 million, with a minimum of €10 million plus bonuses. A release clause in his Gladbach contract was reported multiple times between May and June 2025, with figures ranging from €10 million to €15 million. A year prior, in August 2024, PSV reportedly had a bid of €15 million plus bonuses rejected, with Gladbach's asking price said to be over €15 million.

Our valuation for Ko Itakura is primarily driven by his recent August 2025 transfer from Borussia Mönchengladbach to Ajax, which was widely reported as a total package of around €12-12.5 million. This figure is consistent with multiple reports from mid-2025 of a release clause in the €10-12 million range. While bids were higher the previous year, the 2025 fee reflects his value with one year remaining on his previous contract and provides a strong, recent benchmark.
