Ruben Kluivert

In May 2026, Transfermarkt's market value for the player was reportedly €6.00 million. Earlier, in February 2026, his Transfermarkt value was listed as €2.50 million when Crystal Palace's interest became concrete; reports from that time suggest Lyon could have made a 'large profit' on the circa €4 million they paid for him, but Crystal Palace found the asking price unreasonable. In July 2025, during his transfer from Casa Pia to Lyon, his release clause was reportedly €5 million, though the final transfer fee was completed for €3.8 million. At that time, his Transfermarkt value was just €700,000.

Our valuation for Ruben Kluivert is primarily driven by his €3.8 million transfer to Lyon in July 2025 and the subsequent concrete interest from Crystal Palace in February 2026. The player's own statement about Lyon being able to make a 'large profit' on their investment, combined with Lyon's current need to reduce its wage bill, suggests a willingness to sell at a significantly appreciated price. The range reflects a substantial but realistic profit for Lyon, factoring in the Premier League interest.
