Schalke see Adil Aouchiche's market value double to €7 million

Adil Aouchiche has seen his market value double since joining Schalke, climbing to €7 million after a few months of impressive performances. The 24‑year‑old Algerian international, now a regular in the Greens’ line‑up, is attracting attention both in Germany and on the national stage.

Club impact and rising valuation

Since arriving midway through last season, Aouchiche quickly found his place in the squad and his progress has been described as "clear" by the club. His market price has risen from €3.5 million in June to €7 million, a full‑time increase that reflects his growing influence. Schalke’s assessment highlights the confidence the club now places in the young midfielder.

In the 2025‑26 2. Bundesliga campaign he featured in fourteen matches, starting thirteen of them and totalling 1 117 minutes on the pitch. Playing as an offensive midfielder, he contributed three goals and two assists, statistics that underline his attacking threat. These numbers helped cement his role as a key starter for the side.

The consistency of his performances was a factor in Schalke securing promotion to the Bundesliga. The club’s ascent validates the investment they have made in the 24‑year‑old and sets the stage for him to test himself at a higher level.

International role and comparative market

Aouchiche is currently involved in Algeria’s September‑October training camp. He remained on the bench for the 3‑1 defeat to Zambia before making a 27‑minute cameo in the 2‑2 draw with Burundi, and he hopes for more minutes in the forthcoming match against Niger.

His market rise still lags behind fellow Algerian midfielder Ibrahim Maza of Bayer Leverkusen, whose valuation has jumped to €50 million from €45 million. The contrast highlights the gap between the two young talents, even as Aouchiche continues to develop.
