Xaver Schlager

In July 2026, reports confirmed the player would join Nottingham Forest on a free transfer. Earlier, in January 2026, multiple reports indicated RB Leipzig would have accepted a fee of €4-5 million for a winter transfer to avoid him leaving for free. During the same period, his Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) was cited at €6 million, and his Transfermarkt value was noted as €10 million. Looking further back to May 2025, RB Leipzig's valuation was reportedly between €15 million and €18 million. His last completed transfer with a fee was in July 2022, moving from VfL Wolfsburg to RB Leipzig for €12 million.

Our valuation is driven by the context of Xaver Schlager's free transfer to the Premier League, which masks his underlying market worth. While RB Leipzig reportedly sought €4-5 million for a winter transfer to avoid a total loss, his value is better reflected by a combination of his reported €6 million ETV, his €10 million Transfermarkt valuation, and his €12 million transfer fee in 2022. The move from a top Bundesliga club to England indicates significant continued demand.
