Samson Baidoo

In March 2026, reports consistently stated that Lens would be open to a sale for a fee between €45 million and €55 million. At the same time, his Transfermarkt value was reportedly estimated at €12 million. This was an increase from December 2025, when his market value was reported to be €8 million. In July 2025, he completed a transfer from Red Bull Salzburg to RC Lens for a reported fee of €8 million.

Our valuation is driven by the consistently reported asking price from Lens of €45-55 million in March 2026, which is supported by strong interest from multiple top-tier European clubs including Liverpool, Manchester City, and Borussia Dortmund. This represents a significant appreciation from the €8 million fee paid for Samson Baidoo in July 2025, reflecting his successful transition to a top-five league.
