Souffian El Karouani

In January 2026, reports claimed Utrecht's asking price rose to over €10 million, with Porto and Fenerbahçe both allegedly offering €10 million. In contrast, Ajax was reportedly unwilling to pay €4 million for a winter deal. In December 2025, Beşiktaş was linked with a €3 million budget, while Transfermarkt's valuation was listed at €15 million. This followed a rejected bid of €6.5-€7 million from Spartak Moskou in summer 2025. Earlier, in June 2025, Utrecht's asking price was cited as €12 million amid interest from Torino, while a fee of €7-€8 million was thought to be sufficient for other suitors. An €8 million bid from Hoffenheim was reportedly rejected in January 2025.

Our valuation for Souffian El Karouani is shaped by the conflict between his expiring contract and intense transfer interest. While Ajax is reportedly unwilling to pay €4 million, Utrecht rejected a €6.5-€7 million bid last summer. Recent reports of €10 million offers from Fenerbahçe and Porto, driven by competition from numerous clubs, push the potential fee upwards for a January move, despite him being available for free in a few months.
