Nicolò Zaniolo

In October 2026, Transfermarkt's valuation was reported as €15 million. The most recent transaction was his permanent move from Galatasaray to Udinese in July 2026 for a reported €5 million fee plus a 50% sell-on clause. Just before this, in June 2026, reports cited a starting price of €15 million and a purchase option of €9-10 million. In June 2025, Galatasaray was reportedly seeking €10 million for a sale. His loan to Fiorentina in February 2025 included a reported €3.2 million fee and a purchase option around €15.5-€17.5 million. The prior loan to Atalanta in July 2024 involved a reported €3-€6.4 million fee with a purchase option near €16 million. An earlier loan to Aston Villa in August 2023 reportedly had a purchase option of around €30 million.

Our valuation for Nicolò Zaniolo is primarily driven by his permanent transfer to Udinese in July 2026. While the reported upfront fee was only €5 million, it included a significant 50% sell-on clause for Galatasaray. This structure, combined with consistent prior reports of a €9-10 million purchase option for 100% of the player's rights, suggests his full market value is in this higher range. The estimate is tempered by a history of unexercised purchase options from previous loans, but his settled status and long-term contract at Udinese provide stability.
