Tim van der Leij

In May 2026, reports suggested a transfer to VfB Stuttgart was close for a fee of 'more than one million euros' or '€1 million plus bonuses'. At the same time, his Transfermarkt value was estimated at €400,000. A month earlier, in April 2026, multiple reports claimed RKC Waalwijk was seeking a fee 'significantly higher than €1.5 million', while his Transfermarkt value was cited as €350,000.

Our valuation for Tim van der Leij is shaped by conflicting but recent reports. The lower end of our range is influenced by a May 2026 report of an imminent transfer to VfB Stuttgart for around €1 million plus bonuses. The upper end is driven by multiple April 2026 reports stating his club, RKC Waalwijk, seeks a fee 'significantly higher' than €1.5 million. His strong goal-scoring record, long-term contract until 2028, and interest from several clubs support this valuation.
