Matvii Ponomarenko

In summer 2026, reports indicated intense negotiations with Galatasaray, with Dynamo Kyiv's asking price consistently cited between €25 million and €30 million. Galatasaray's reported offers varied, from a €15 million bid to complex loan-plus-purchase deals valued up to €30 million in total. During the same period, multiple reports, though some were denied by the player's agent, claimed that €20 million offers from Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, and Porto were all rejected by Dynamo. Earlier in 2026, Dynamo's starting price was reported at €20-25 million, with some sources suggesting a minimum of €15 million. A new contract signed in August 2026 reportedly includes a €50 million release clause. Transfermarkt's valuation was listed at €12 million during this period.

Our valuation for Matviy Ponomarenko is driven by Dynamo Kyiv's consistent asking price and multiple rejected bids from prominent European clubs. Reports from mid-2026 consistently place Dynamo's valuation between €25 million and €30 million. This is supported by reportedly rejected offers of €20 million from clubs including Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, and Porto, establishing a clear floor for negotiations. The estimate of €25 million represents a likely compromise point and aligns with the total value of complex deal structures discussed with Galatasaray.
