Michael Steinwender

In June 2026, reports described the fee for the transfer from Hearts to VfL Bochum as a 'mid six-figure' sum. It was also reported that his move from Varnamo to Hearts in January 2025 was for an unspecified 'six-figure deal'.

Our valuation is driven by the reported 'mid six-figure fee' for Michael Steinwender's confirmed June 2026 transfer to VfL Bochum. This is supported by the fact that Hearts reportedly made a profit on the player, whom they had signed 18 months earlier for a 'six-figure deal', indicating a positive value trajectory. Interest from other German second-tier clubs also reinforces this valuation.
