Salvatore Esposito

In January 2026, reports indicate an agreement was reached for a transfer to Sampdoria for a base fee of €1.75 million plus €500,000 in potential bonuses. During the preceding negotiations in December 2025, Spezia's asking price was reportedly raised to €2.3 million, while Sampdoria's offers were around €1.5 million. This is a notable decrease from summer 2025, when a near-transfer to PAOK was valued at a total of €4.2 million, and Spezia's asking price was cited by the club's director and in reports as being between €4.5 million and €6 million. During that same period, Beşiktaş was reportedly willing to offer up to €8 million. Transfermarkt's valuation was cited as €5 million in December 2025. The player's last completed transfer was from SPAL to Spezia in July 2023 for a reported €3.3 million.

Our valuation is driven by the highly detailed and recent reports of Salvatore Esposito's imminent transfer from Spezia to Sampdoria in January 2026. The negotiations consistently place the fee in a €1.5M to €2.3M range, with a final agreement reported at a €1.75M base fee plus bonuses. This represents a significant drop from higher valuations seen in summer 2025 (ranging from €4.5M to €8M), which we attribute to the player's recent injury and reported declining standing at the club, making the current, lower figures a more accurate reflection of his market value.
