Moussa Sylla

Most recently, in January 2026, reports suggested that after Schalke rejected offers of up to €6 million in summer 2025, it was improbable a club would now offer even half that amount. During summer 2025, Schalke's asking price was consistently reported between €7 million and €8 million. A loan deal with Valencia reportedly collapsed over a required €7 million purchase obligation. During that same period, Swansea City was said to have bid approximately €5.5 million, and Leicester City's interest was noted in the €5-6 million range. Transfermarkt's market value was cited at €5 million and €6 million in late 2025. Sylla's transfer from Pau to Schalke 04 in July 2024 was for a reported €2.5 million.

Our valuation for Moussa Sylla is primarily driven by the collapsed transfer to New York City FC in February 2026 and subsequent reports suggesting his value could have halved. This is a significant drop from summer 2025, when Schalke 04 sought €7-8 million and rejected bids around €5.5-6 million. The range reflects the uncertainty following the failed medical, with the lower end representing the reported crash in value and the upper end acknowledging that another club might still see potential close to previous bid levels.
