Nicolò Zaniolo

Recent reports from April to June 2026 consistently mention Udinese's purchase option, with figures cited at both €9 million and €10 million, which the club intends to activate. An alternative option of €5 million plus a 50% future resale clause has also been reported. In June 2025, Galatasaray's desired transfer fee was reportedly €10 million. A Transfermarkt valuation of €12 million was mentioned in August 2025. Earlier, Fiorentina's loan deal (February 2025) included a €15.5 million purchase option that was not exercised. Similarly, Atalanta's loan (July 2024) had an option around €16 million that was also not taken up. An older loan to Aston Villa reportedly included a purchase option of around €30 million, which was also declined.

Our valuation is driven by the highly consistent reports from late 2025 and early 2026 regarding Udinese's intention to exercise their purchase option for Nicolò Zaniolo, valued between €9 million and €10 million. This figure is further supported by Galatasaray's reported asking price of €10 million in June 2025. Previous, more expensive purchase options with Atalanta and Fiorentina (around €15.5 million) were not exercised, indicating his market value has settled in this lower range.
