Matte Smets

In February 2026, VfL Wolfsburg reportedly made several bids for the player. Reports mentioned offers of €16 million and an increased bid of €19 million, both of which were rejected by Genk. Another report detailed an agreed fee of €15 million plus €3 million in bonuses, which the player himself refused. Earlier, in January 2025, a transfer fee exceeding €10 million was anticipated amid interest from Inter. His Transfermarkt value was listed at €11 million in February 2026. His last completed transfer was from Sint-Truiden to Genk in July 2024 for a fee of €2.3 million.

Our valuation is driven by multiple recent reports from February 2026 of rejected bids from VfL Wolfsburg, with the highest reported rejected offer being €19 million. This establishes a firm floor for Matte Smets' value. The significant interest from several top-tier European clubs, combined with his rapid development since his €2.3 million transfer in July 2024, suggests his price will settle in the low-to-mid €20 million range in the upcoming transfer window.
