Yunus Akgün

The most recent valuation comes from a reported formal offer of €17 million (plus €2 million in add-ons) from Benfica in May 2026, which was rejected by Galatasaray. Previously, in January 2025, a €12 million offer from Borussia Dortmund was also reportedly turned down. In November 2024, reports suggested Benfica was preparing a €15-20 million bid, and Galatasaray's asking price was no less than €20 million. An €11 million release clause was mentioned multiple times in early-to-mid 2025, but reports indicate it was removed with a contract extension signed in August 2025. Market valuations mentioned in reports have trended upwards, from €6.5 million in October 2024 to €15 million by October 2025. The only completed transfer with a fee was his loan from Galatasaray to Leicester in August 2023 for €500,000.

Our valuation for Yunus Akgün is driven by multiple concrete, rejected offers and the selling club's firm stance. Galatasaray's rejection of a reported €17 million offer from Benfica in May 2026, following a rejected €12 million bid from Borussia Dortmund in January 2025, establishes a high floor. Combined with Galatasaray's previously reported asking price of at least €20 million and the player's long-term contract until 2029, the most likely transfer value is estimated to be significantly above the most recent rejected bid.
