€10.5m under the valuation: Alvyn Sanches moved to Young Boys at 0.25× his market price

The fee, the valuation, and the 75% gap between them — read against every priced deal the Swiss Super League did in 2025/26.

Below the valuation by €10.5m.

Of the 39 deals into the Swiss Super League in 2025/26 where both a fee and a valuation are on record, 34 were done at a higher multiple than this one — 87% of them. That is what makes this price ordinary or unusual: its own league, its own season, not a feeling about the player.

A market value is the market's estimate, not a price tag, and a club paying above or below one is doing business, not making a mistake. What the gap measures is how far this club's read sat from the consensus — nothing about how the player performs next.
