Ruud Nijstad

In June 2026, reports indicated PSV had a bid of €5-6 million rejected, with Eintracht Frankfurt reportedly offering more. Around the same time, expectations were that a transfer fee would be in the 'double-digit millions', and his Transfermarkt value was listed at €10 million. Earlier in May 2026, his Transfermarkt value was €8 million. Throughout February to April 2026, FC Twente's asking price was consistently reported between €8 million and 'more than €10 million' in discussions linked to clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Barcelona was reportedly unwilling to meet this valuation.

Our valuation is driven by multiple consistent reports of FC Twente's asking price being in the €8-10 million range, coupled with a concrete rejected bid from PSV of €5-6 million. The widespread interest from top-tier European clubs and, most importantly, Ruud Nijstad's recent contract extension to 2029, significantly strengthens his club's negotiating position. This new long-term deal justifies a valuation well into the double-digit millions, reflecting his high potential and the competitive market.
