Leonardo Balerdi

The most recent reports from September 2026 detail a loan to Roma with a purchase option cited at €13 million and a conditional obligation of €15 million. During negotiations in August 2026, a €20 million purchase option was reportedly proposed by Roma, and Marseille quoted 'almost 20 million euros' to Bologna. In June 2026, Bayer Leverkusen was said to have made a €25 million offer. Marseille's asking price was reportedly €30 million in April 2026, a significant drop from the €40-45 million figures mentioned in mid-2025. An €8 million bid from Bologna was reportedly rejected in August 2022. The player's permanent transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Marseille in July 2021 was for a reported €11 million.

Our valuation is driven by the most recent transfer activity for Leonardo Balerdi, specifically his August 2026 loan from Marseille to Roma. Reports indicate this deal includes a purchase option or obligation between €13 million and €15 million, which forms the core of our estimate. The upper end of our range is informed by slightly older but still relevant data points from 2026, including a reported €25 million bid from Bayer Leverkusen and Marseille's asking prices fluctuating between €20 million and €30 million.
