Romain Esse

In August 2026, transfer negotiations reportedly saw Crystal Palace initially ask for €16 million before setting a firm asking price of around €12 million. Club Brugge reportedly had a bid of €8 million plus €2 million in bonuses rejected before talks ultimately collapsed. The player's market value was cited by Transfermarkt at €10 million during the same period. Historically, Crystal Palace acquired the player from Millwall in January 2025 for a reported fee of €14.2 million.

Our valuation is driven by the detailed reports of transfer negotiations between Crystal Palace and Club Brugge in August 2026. The range is anchored by Club Brugge's rejected bid of approximately €8 million plus bonuses and Crystal Palace's firm asking price of €12 million. Considering Palace paid a reported €14.2 million for Romain Esse in January 2025 and held firm on their price, we estimate his value at the upper end of this negotiation range.
