Ollie Watkins

Throughout summer 2025, reports consistently stated Aston Villa's asking price was approximately €70 million (£60m), with some sources suggesting they would accept offers in the €70-75 million range and one outlier mentioning an €94 million (£80m) valuation. During this time, Manchester United reportedly valued the player at €53 million (£45m), while another report suggested a fee between €47-59 million (£40-50m) could be sufficient. Earlier, in January 2025, Arsenal reportedly had multiple bids rejected, with figures cited ranging from €46 million (£40m) up to a total package of €70 million (£60m). Various estimated market values were also mentioned, including a Transfermarkt value of €40 million in June 2025.

Our valuation for Ollie Watkins is driven by the consistent conflict between Aston Villa's reported asking price, frequently cited around €70 million (£60m), and the lower valuations from interested clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal, which fall in the €47-55 million range. The high level of interest from multiple top Premier League clubs suggests a final fee will likely settle in the upper half of this spectrum, closer to Villa's demand.
