Sam Johnstone

In August 2024, Sam Johnstone completed a transfer from Crystal Palace to Wolves for a reported fee of €11.9 million. By April 2025, his Transfermarkt value was listed at €8 million, and reports linked him to Leeds for a potential €11.9 million move. During the summer of 2025, Wolves were reportedly willing to sell for around £8 million (~€9.5 million), with a later report mentioning a preference for a £7 million (~€8.3 million) permanent deal to Burnley. More recent rumours from January 2026 linking him to Tottenham did not specify a transfer fee.

Our valuation for Sam Johnstone is driven by his status as a surplus player at Wolves, just one year after they signed him for €11.9 million in August 2024. Multiple reports from mid-2025 indicate Wolves were seeking to sell him, with asking prices reportedly ranging from approximately €8.3 million to €9.5 million, and some suggestions they wanted to recoup their initial outlay. This consistent reporting of a lower asking price than his purchase fee informs our estimate.
