Philip Zinckernagel

In January 2026, reports indicated Chicago Fire rejected a €4 million offer from Pumas UNAM. A year prior, in January 2025, he completed a transfer from Club Brugge to Chicago Fire for a reported fee of €850,000. While at Club Brugge in August 2024, his market value was estimated at €4 million. His transfer from Olympiakos to Club Brugge in August 2023 was for a reported €2.5 million, and his move from Watford to Olympiakos in July 2022 was for a reported €2.0 million.

Our valuation for Philip Zinckernagel is primarily driven by the recently rejected €4 million offer from Pumas UNAM in January 2026, which sets a clear floor for his value. His excellent performance in the MLS and reported interest from multiple clubs suggest his value has significantly appreciated from the €850,000 Chicago Fire paid a year prior, justifying a range that extends above the rejected bid.
