Zakaria El Ouahdi

In August 2026, reports surrounding a transfer to Hamburger SV were conflicting; one stated a fixed fee of €8 million was paid, while others from the same period cited Genk's asking price at €15 million to €17 million, with a compromise of €12-14 million plus bonuses being discussed. Throughout July 2026, interest from Roma, PSV, and Everton led to a consistent valuation around €15 million, while Bayer Leverkusen reportedly faced an asking price of €20 million. In April 2026, a significant reported offer from Brentford of €15 million plus €6 million in bonuses was rejected, with Genk said to be seeking a guaranteed €25 million. Earlier in 2026, asking prices varied widely in reports, from €10-12 million up to €25-30 million, though €15 million was the most frequently cited figure. His value has grown significantly since his September 2023 transfer from RWDM to Genk for a reported €2.5 million.

Our valuation for Zakaria El Ouahdi is anchored by the most recent report of a completed transfer to Hamburger SV for a fixed fee of €8 million. However, this figure is at the low end of the extensive negotiations detailed in August 2026, where Genk's asking price was consistently reported between €15 million and €17 million. The range reflects this discrepancy, acknowledging the final reported fee while also considering the higher valuations discussed during negotiations and the rejected €15 million (plus bonuses) offer from Brentford in April 2026.
