Zakaria El Ouahdi

The most recent valuation comes from an April 2026 report of a rejected Brentford offer of €15 million plus €6 million in bonuses, with Genk reportedly demanding a guaranteed €25 million. In February 2026, Genk's asking price was cited in various reports ranging from €10-15 million up to €25-30 million. In January 2026, a transfer to the Premier League was believed to cost around €14 million (£12m), while other reports from that time mentioned Genk demanding €10-12 million. In mid-2025, Genk reportedly demanded €12 million from Wolfsburg, who had offered €9 million. During the summer of 2024, Benfica was linked with offers between €7-8 million, but Genk's asking price was consistently over €10 million. He was transferred from RWDM to Genk in September 2023 for a reported €2.5 million.

Our valuation for Zakaria El Ouahdi is primarily driven by the most recent concrete rumour from April 2026, where Brentford reportedly submitted a €15 million offer (plus add-ons) that was rejected by Genk. The Belgian club's counter-demand is reportedly a guaranteed sum of at least €25 million. The player's strong performance, long contract until 2028, and significant interest from multiple Premier League and other top European clubs support a valuation in this range, with a compromise likely between the initial bid and the high asking price.
