Live updates on transfer rumours.
TransferFeed valuation based on market analysis.
In March 2026, the player's Transfermarkt value was listed at €12 million. During the February 2026 transfer window, reports indicated NEC rejected a €20 million bid from Nottingham Forest and another from an unnamed club. NEC's asking price was consistently cited as a minimum of €20 million. In that same period, Ajax reportedly made a €12.5 million offer plus add-ons and a separate €10 million offer plus a player, both of which were rejected, though Ajax was reportedly willing to raise its bid to €15 million. In December 2025 and January 2026, NEC's asking price for clubs like Feyenoord and PSV was reported to be in the €15 million to €20 million range. The player's Transfermarkt value was €6 million in December 2025.
Our valuation for Kodai Sano is driven by NEC's consistent asking price of €20 million, which is corroborated by multiple reports of rejected bids at that exact level from clubs including Nottingham Forest in February 2026. While Ajax's offers were lower, in the €10-€15 million range, the widespread interest from Premier League and Bundesliga clubs suggests NEC will achieve their target valuation in the upcoming summer window.
