Xaver Schlager

In January 2026, with his contract expiring, reports consistently stated RB Leipzig would require a fee of €4-5 million for an immediate winter transfer. During the same month, his Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) was cited as €6 million, and his Transfermarkt value was noted as €10 million. Earlier, in May 2025, RB Leipzig reportedly valued him between €15-18 million for a potential sale, with a figure of €18 million also mentioned in March 2025. His last completed transfer was from VfL Wolfsburg to RB Leipzig in July 2022 for a fee of €12 million.

Our valuation is driven by the consistent reports from January 2026 stating RB Leipzig's asking price of €4-5 million for a winter transfer to avoid losing Xaver Schlager for free. This figure, representing his value just six months before his contract expiry, forms the basis of our range. The upper end is influenced by a reported Estimated Transfer Value of €6 million from the same period. His confirmed departure on a free transfer in summer 2026 solidifies this as a short-term valuation rather than a long-term market price.
