Nicholas Pierini

In August 2026, reports suggested Sassuolo might release the player for free if his €1.1 million annual salary was covered, while his Transfermarkt value was listed at €1.60m. Earlier, in April 2026, Sampdoria was reportedly ready to pay a €1 million purchase option. This option was part of a loan deal from February 2026, which also included a reported €250,000 loan fee. At that time, his Transfermarkt value was cited as €2.60m. His most recent completed transfers with fees were from Cesena to Venezia in July 2022 for a reported €300,000 and from Sassuolo to Cesena in August 2021 for €220,000.

Our valuation for Nicholas Pierini is primarily driven by the reported €1 million purchase option included in his recent loan to Sampdoria, which they were reportedly prepared to activate. However, this is tempered by his current expiring contract status and reports that Sassuolo may be willing to release him for a nominal fee or even for free to get his significant salary off their books, suggesting a final fee will be considerably lower than the option price.
