Max Aarons

In mid-2025, a potential move to Leeds was reported at around £12m (approx. €14.2m), while other rumours from May 2025 valued the player between €12-15m. Around the same time, it was reported Bournemouth sought to recoup their initial £7m (approx. €8.1m) investment. Earlier, in January 2025, Valencia's loan deal reportedly included a non-mandatory purchase option of €9 million. The player's last permanent transfer was from Norwich City to AFC Bournemouth in August 2023 for a fee of €8.1M.

Our valuation for Max Aarons is shaped by several conflicting data points from 2025. While reports suggested a value as high as €12-15 million, a more concrete figure was Valencia's unexercised €9 million purchase option. Considering his subsequent underwhelming loan spells at Valencia and Rangers, his value has likely decreased, bringing it closer to the €8.1 million fee Bournemouth originally paid. His long-term contract provides Bournemouth with some negotiating leverage, but his status as surplus to requirements limits the potential fee.
