Pepi and Read top Eredivisie clubs as most valuable players

In a sun‑lit Rotterdam training ground, the buzz centres on the market tags that cling to each club’s marquee signing. The Eredivisie’s transfer values vary dramatically, and the easiest way to see the gap is by looking at each side’s most expensive player.

Feyenoord and PSV share the top spot

Read, the permanent right‑back of Feyenoord, watched several summer deals collapse and remains the league’s costliest player. At PSV, the club’s leading striker stands shoulder‑to‑shoulder with Read as another of the Eredivisie’s priciest assets, despite a reputation for being injury‑prone.

AZ’s record‑breaking prospect

The “pearl” of AZ, already linked with every top club and a full international for the Netherlands, commands a valuation of €24.8 million, sparking talk of a record transfer.

Ajax’s uncertain newcomers

New arrivals Adingra and Tolu instantly became Ajax’s highest‑valued players, although neither has been signed permanently, leaving the club’s future earnings from their market values in doubt.

Twente’s youthful defender

Twente’s promising central defender has become a staple for the Tukkers at a very young age, his market price reflecting his importance to the side.

Utrecht’s Belgian midfielder

Alonzo Engwanda, a Belgian midfielder, is Utrecht’s most valuable contracted player at €8 million, a figure that could see the club slip down the value rankings.

Heerenveen’s Danish winger

At 25, Trenskow delivers goal contributions week after week for Heerenveen, and his services are expected to command a high fee.

Groningen’s 22‑year‑old attacker

The promising forward, a youth international, was linked with AZ this summer but stayed, having been involved in six goals this season, which has driven his price up.

NEC’s remaining high‑value trio

After a summer of costly exits, NEC’s most expensive players are Lebreton, Fonville and Kaplan, each poised to increase in value.

Sparta’s teenage talents

Sparta’s 18‑year‑old Martes, 21‑year‑old Young and 19‑year‑old Kostic are each valued at €5 million, a sum that could soon attract record‑breaking offers.

Tilburg’s Dutch youngster

De Jong‑Oranje striker Devin Haen is valued at €2.5 million, half the price of the Tilburgers’ most expensive contracted player.

Go Ahead Eagles’ Belgian playmaker

Mathis Suray, a 25‑year‑old Belgian midfielder, arrived from Dordrecht for €800 000 in 2024 and is now more than three times that amount, making him the club’s most valuable asset.

Fortuna’s rising value

At €3.5 million, the player who has revived his worth after a strong spell at Fortuna now tops the Limburg club’s valuation list.

Excelsior’s Georgian star

Yegoian, a 22‑year‑old Georgian midfielder, has sparked Excelsior’s season and could become the club’s most expensive outgoing transfer.

PEC Zwolle’s loan leaders

The most valuable player at PEC Zwolle is a loanee, sharing the spotlight with fellow loan Jan Bürger; several other contracted players, including striker Koen Kostons and talent Jadiel Pereira da Gama, are valued at €1.5 million.

Cambuur’s Moroccan prodigy

Baouf, a 20‑year‑old Moroccan talent, is by far Cambuur’s most valuable player, while the next‑in‑line teammate is valued at only half his price.

“Het” is the Dutch word for “the”, underscoring how language and numbers intertwine in this valuation roundup.
