Philip Otele

In January 2026, multiple reports consistently stated that Basel lowered their asking price to around €7 million (£6m), with some suggesting a deal could be finalized for between €8 million and €10 million. His Transfermarkt value was cited as €5 million at this time. This is a significant decrease from August 2025, when an expected fee was reportedly around £15 million (~€18 million) amid interest from Fulham. For context, he reportedly completed a transfer from Al Wahda to Basel in July 2025 for €3 million, and previously moved from CFR Cluj to Al Wahda in July 2024 for €3.5 million.

Our valuation is driven by multiple, consistent reports from January 2026 stating FC Basel's asking price for Philip Otele is now around €7 million (£6m), with some sources suggesting a deal could be completed for €8-10 million. The widespread interest from clubs in England and Italy supports a final fee above the minimum asking price. This represents a significant reduction from a reported ~€18 million valuation in summer 2025, but still a substantial appreciation from his €3 million transfer fee to Basel.
