Mihail Polendakov

In July 2025, Mihail Polendakov moved from Septemvri Sofia to Sheffield United for a reported fee of €500,000. By January 2026, reports mentioned a market value of €600,000 when he was made available for transfer by Sheffield United. In September 2026, it was reported that his loan to Ludogorets contains an obligation to buy, but the fee for this future transfer was not specified.

Our valuation for Mihail Polendakov is driven by his recent transfer history. He was purchased by Sheffield United for €500,000 in July 2025 but failed to make a first-team appearance before being made available for transfer. His subsequent loan to Ludogorets includes an obligation to buy, suggesting a pre-agreed fee likely close to Sheffield United's initial investment, which they would aim to recoup. The reported market value of €600,000 in early 2026 provides a reasonable upper bound.
