Salih Özcan

Reports from July 2026 state the player is joining Beşiktaş on a free transfer after his contract expired. In the months prior, his market value was cited by Transfermarkt at €3.5 million (May 2026). During the winter window (Jan 2026), with six months left on his contract, Dortmund's asking price was reportedly between €1.5 million and €3 million. In late 2025, a deal with Beşiktaş was linked at €3 million, while a move to Galatasaray was mooted for €1.5-€2 million. Throughout mid-to-late 2025, Dortmund's asking price was consistently reported at €5 million, with Beşiktaş reportedly offering €3 million. The player's completed transfer from FC Köln to Borussia Dortmund in July 2022 was for a reported €5 million.

Our valuation for Salih Özcan is based on the consistent interest and reported fees during the final year of his Borussia Dortmund contract, despite his eventual move to Beşiktaş on a free transfer. Dortmund's asking price reportedly dropped from €5 million in mid-2025 to as low as €1.5 million by January 2026. Bids and valuations from interested clubs consistently fell in the €2-4 million range during this period, which informs our estimate of his underlying market value, benchmarked against his €5 million transfer to Dortmund in 2022.
