Sam Johnstone

In August 2024, the player completed a transfer from Crystal Palace to Wolverhampton Wanderers for a fee of €11.9 million. More recently, transfer rumours from August 2025 indicated Wolves preferred a permanent deal worth around €8.5 million (£7 million). In July 2025, reports suggested Wolves were willing to sell for approximately €9.5 million (£8 million), a figure also mentioned in June 2025. Earlier, in April and May 2025, reports noted Wolves hoped to recoup most of the initial fee, linking him with a potential €12 million (£10 million) transfer. His Transfermarkt value was reported at €8 million in April 2025.

Our valuation is driven by Sam Johnstone's status as a backup goalkeeper and Wolves' clear willingness to sell. The initial transfer fee of €11.9M set a high benchmark, but subsequent reports show a consistent decrease in the club's asking price, from an initial €12M down to a more recent range of €8.5M to €9.5M, reflecting his limited playing time and desire for a move.
