Santiago Ascacibar

In January 2026, reports indicated Boca Juniors paid approximately €3.7 million ($4 million) for 80% of the player's rights. During the same period, Estudiantes' asking price was reportedly €6.4 million ($7 million), with speculation his value could have reached €9.2-€11 million ($10-12 million) in a bidding war. In January 2025, Estudiantes was reportedly demanding over €5.5 million ($6 million). A reported swap offer from Boca in August 2025, involving a player plus ~€2.3 million ($2.5 million), was rejected. His Transfermarkt value was listed at €7.0 million in December 2025. His last completed transfer with a fee was from Hertha BSC to Estudiantes in July 2023 for €3.0 million.

Our valuation is driven by the recent January 2026 transfer of Santiago Ascacibar to Boca Juniors, which was reportedly for approximately €3.7 million for 80% of his rights, implying a full valuation of around €4.6 million. However, reports suggest this was a bargain price, potentially half his market value, due to Estudiantes' financial needs. This is contrasted with earlier reported asking prices of €5.5-€6.4 million and a Transfermarkt valuation of €7.0 million, which inform the upper end of our range.
