Our valuation is driven by the completed February 2026 transfer of Obed Vargas to Atlético Madrid. Reports on the final fee vary, citing a base of €3 million plus significant add-ons on one hand, and approximately €6 million on the other. This range is shaped by the critical context of his expiring contract, which lowered the fee from previously rejected bids of around €8.5 million.
