Lukas Hornicek

In June 2026, reports consistently stated that Sporting Braga was demanding interested clubs pay the full €30 million release clause. At the same time, the player's Transfermarkt value was reported to be €18 million. Earlier, in February 2026, the player's agent suggested a fee of around €20 million could be realistic, while his Transfermarkt value at that time was reported as €10 million.

Our valuation for Lukáš Horníček is driven by the consistently reported €30 million release clause, which Sporting Braga reportedly demands in full. This is contrasted by his agent's suggestion in early 2026 that a €20 million fee could be realistic. Given the strong interest from several major European clubs, we believe a negotiated fee between these two figures is the most likely outcome, landing closer to Braga's firm asking price.
