Nicolò Zaniolo

Recent reports from January 2026 consistently cite Udinese's active purchase option for €10 million, with an alternative structure of €5 million plus a 50% sell-on clause also mentioned. This follows a period where Galatasaray was reportedly seeking €10 million for a permanent sale in June 2025. His market value was estimated by Transfermarkt at €12 million in August 2025. Previous loan deals had higher, unexercised options: Fiorentina's was €15.5 million (February 2025) and Atalanta's was around €16 million (July 2024). Historically, Aston Villa reportedly held a €30 million option during the 2023/24 season, and Bournemouth was linked with a €35 million offer to AS Roma in August 2023.

Our valuation is driven by the highly consistent and recent reports of Udinese's €10 million purchase option for Nicolò Zaniolo. This figure represents the current market consensus, further supported by Galatasaray's own reported asking price of €10 million in mid-2025. While previous loan deals with Fiorentina and Atalanta included higher options around €15.5-€16 million, the fact they were not exercised establishes a clear ceiling and indicates a subsequent value correction. The emerging interest from Milan and Napoli reinforces that the €10 million price point is a credible and active benchmark.
