Rubén Sánchez

The most definitive valuation is the reported €500,000 transfer fee Elche paid to Espanyol in September 2026. During negotiations in August 2026, Espanyol's asking price was consistently reported at around €1,000,000. In the same month, Elche reportedly made an initial offer of €500,000, while PAOK was linked with bids ranging from a €400,000 base offer to €600,000. A Transfermarkt value of €1,800,000 was also cited in reports from July 2026.

Our valuation is driven by the confirmed transfer of Rubén Sánchez to Elche for a reported fee of €500,000 in September 2026. This figure aligns with multiple bids from interested clubs like PAOK, which were in the €400,000 to €600,000 range. Espanyol's initial asking price of €1 million was not met, likely due to the player being in the final year of his contract, which weakened the club's negotiating position.
