Stije Resink

In January 2026, reports indicated Benfica was willing to offer €7 million plus €3 million in bonuses. During the same period, FC Groningen's asking price was reportedly €10 million. A summer release clause of €6 million was widely reported throughout late 2025 and early 2026, though this was publicly denied by a club director in January 2026, who instead compared the player's value to a prior transfer worth at least €6.75 million. Transfermarkt's valuation of the player rose from €4 million in August 2025 to €7 million by January 2026. Stije Resink's last completed transfer was from Almere City to FC Groningen in August 2024 for a reported €700,000.

Our valuation for Stije Resink is driven by Benfica's reported January 2026 offer of €7 million plus €3 million in bonuses, a figure designed to pre-empt a widely reported €6 million summer release clause. This is balanced against FC Groningen's reported asking price of €10 million for a winter transfer, with our estimate representing a likely compromise between the bid and the club's valuation.
