Michael Folorunsho

Most recently, in May 2026, it was reported that Cagliari would not activate their purchase option, which was consistently cited at €8 million. The preceding loan fee was reported as either €500,000 or €1 million. In July 2025, Torino was linked with a €1 million loan offer with an unspecified purchase option. Earlier, in June 2025, Fiorentina also declined to make his loan permanent; that deal reportedly included a €1 million loan fee and a purchase option valued between €8 and €9 million. The highest valuation comes from reports in September/October 2024, which stated that Atalanta had been close to a deal in the summer of 2024 for a fee between €15 million and €20 million, but the transfer ultimately fell through.

Our valuation for Michael Folorunsho is primarily shaped by the consistent reports of an €8 million purchase option included in his recent loans to Fiorentina and Cagliari, both of which the clubs declined to activate. This suggests a market ceiling at or below that figure. While there was stronger reported interest from Atalanta in the summer of 2024, with valuations cited as high as €15-20 million after a successful season at Hellas Verona, his subsequent loan spells have not justified that peak price, leading to our more conservative current estimate.
