By April 2026, reports suggested a potential fee between £15 million and £20 million (~€17.5-€23.5 million). In May 2026, the asking price reportedly increased significantly to around €30 million. During the summer, Swansea's valuation was stated to be in excess of £20 million (~€23.5 million). In August 2026, a bid from Hull City reportedly in excess of £10 million (~€11.7 million) was rejected, while Sporting CP was said to be willing to pay over €20 million. The period culminated in a reported completed transfer to West Ham for a fee of £21 million (~€24.6 million), with potential add-ons up to £23 million (~€26.9 million). Transfermarkt values mentioned in reports evolved from €4 million in March 2026 to €22 million by summer 2026.

Our valuation is driven by the reported completed transfer of Žan Vipotnik to West Ham in August 2026 for a fee of approximately €24.6 million, potentially rising to €26.9 million. This figure is strongly supported by Swansea's escalating asking price throughout 2026, which started at around €17.5 million and rose to €30 million, and the rejection of a bid worth over €11.7 million from Hull City, indicating a firm stance on a high valuation.
