Mauro Júnior

In summer 2026, multiple reports centered on an active release clause of €12 million, which was reportedly valid for a limited time and attracted interest from Fenerbahçe, FC Porto, Real Betis, and Como. Fenerbahçe was reportedly prepared to pay this fee. Earlier in May 2026, some reports had mentioned a release clause of €18 million, but more recent information clarified the active clause was lower. One report from May 2026 also suggested that an offer of €15 million from FC Porto would be expected to secure a transfer. Throughout this period, the player's Transfermarkt market value was frequently cited as €18 million, though it was noted that Real Betis was unlikely to pay such an amount.

Our valuation for Mauro Júnior is driven by the consistently reported and active release clause of €12 million, which multiple clubs, including Fenerbahçe, Porto, and Real Betis, were reportedly considering in summer 2026. While a higher market value of €18 million is mentioned, reports suggest clubs are unwilling to meet that price. The €12 million clause represents the most concrete and actionable transfer fee. The upper end of our range, €15 million, reflects a potential negotiated fee mentioned in connection with Porto's interest, should the clause expire.
