Live updates on transfer rumours.
TransferFeed valuation based on market analysis.
In January 2026, reports indicated Leeds United were prepared to pay approximately €15 million, including bonuses, and were close to an agreement. During the summer of 2025, West Ham United was linked with a potential deal valued between €15 million and €20 million. In July 2025, Werder Bremen's asking price was reported to be between €15 million (per 'kicker') and €20 million (per 'Bild'), with a €15 million fee also linked to Aston Villa's interest. Transfermarkt's valuation was cited at €17 million in July and August 2025. An older estimate from November 2024 suggested a potential fee of around €10 million.
Our valuation is driven by multiple, consistent reports from the summer of 2025 and winter of 2026. The most significant factor is the widely reported near-agreement for Romano Schmid to join Leeds United in January 2026 for a fee of approximately €15 million. This figure aligns perfectly with Werder Bremen's reported asking price range of €15 million to €20 million during the preceding summer transfer window, which was also linked to interest from several Premier League clubs.
