Saël Kumbedi

The most recent and definitive valuation is the official transfer from Olympique Lyonnais to VfL Wolfsburg in December 2025 for a reported fee of €6 million, plus €2 million in potential bonuses. This followed an initial loan in August 2025, for which a €1 million fee was widely reported, with the purchase clause set at €6 million. In August 2025, reports also mentioned a direct transfer offer from Wolfsburg of €7 million plus €2 million in bonuses, and a rejected €5 million bid from LOSC Lille. Earlier, in August 2024, Lyon's asking price was reportedly between €8 and €10 million, though by December 2024, the club's valuation was cited as approximately €5 million. A Transfermarkt value of around €4 million was mentioned in January 2025. His prior transfer from Le Havre to Lyon in August 2022 was for €1 million.

Our valuation is driven by the confirmed transfer of Saël Kumbedi Nseke to VfL Wolfsburg in December 2025. Olympique Lyonnais officially announced a base fee of €6 million, which serves as our primary estimate. This figure is supported by preceding reports of a mandatory purchase clause of the same amount and a rejected €5 million bid from LOSC Lille, establishing a clear market value.
