Leonardo Balerdi

Recent reports from mid-2025 suggest interest from Juventus at €25 million and Leeds around €24 million (£20m). In contrast, Olympique de Marseille has reportedly set a high asking price, ranging from over €40 million to a firm €45 million in discussions with various clubs including Roma and Leeds. Earlier in 2025, Roma was linked with offers or valuations around €20 million, which Marseille publicly deemed insufficient. His Transfermarkt value is frequently cited at €20 million. For context, his last permanent transfer was from Borussia Dortmund to Marseille in July 2021 for a reported €11 million.

Our valuation for Leonardo Balerdi is shaped by the significant gap between reported interest and Marseille's asking price. Multiple reports place interest from clubs like Juventus, Roma, and Leeds in the €20-25 million range. However, Marseille has consistently demanded a much higher fee, reportedly setting their price at €45 million and rejecting lower offers. Given his importance to the team and a long-term contract until 2028, Marseille holds a strong negotiating position, pushing the likely transfer value well above the initial interest levels.
