TransferFeed valuation based on market analysis.
Recent reports from August 2026 detailed intense negotiations, with RB Leipzig reportedly prepared to offer €60 million plus €10 million in bonuses. During the same period, Borussia Dortmund's final rejected offer was reportedly a package worth up to €55 million, with a base fee below €50 million. Throughout the summer of 2026, 1. FC Köln's asking price was consistently reported as a minimum of €50 million. In June 2026, Köln was reportedly prepared to accept an offer from Brentford for a €45 million fixed fee plus €5 million in add-ons, but the player rejected the move. Earlier, a reported offer of €45 million from Chelsea was mentioned in March 2026. Said El Mala's transfer from Viktoria Köln to 1. FC Köln in July 2024 was for a reported €300,000.
Our valuation for Said El Mala is driven by the intense and well-documented transfer negotiations in August 2026. 1. FC Köln consistently demanded a fee of at least €50 million, rejecting multiple bids from Borussia Dortmund that culminated in a package worth over €55 million. Furthermore, reports indicated RB Leipzig was prepared to offer a base fee of up to €60 million before the player ultimately extended his contract, firmly establishing his market value in this range.
