Lucas Gourna-Douath

In mid-2025, reports stated AS Roma had a purchase option for approximately €19.5-20M, which they considered excessive and allowed to expire. An August 2025 report cited a market value of €8M. Earlier, in January 2025, Red Bull Salzburg was reportedly asking AC Milan for at least €20M. A valuation of approximately €9M was mentioned in September 2024 in relation to Milan's interest. The player's completed transfer from Saint-Étienne to Red Bull Salzburg in July 2022 was for a fee of €13M.

Our valuation is driven by multiple reports indicating a significant drop from Lucas Gourna-Douath's original €13M transfer fee and the high €20M option to buy that AS Roma rejected. The estimate is anchored by recent market valuations reported between €8M and €9M, balanced against the likelihood that Red Bull Salzburg will need to make financial concessions to facilitate a sale, as suggested by available data.
