1.60× the market's number: what Slavia Praha paid over Danijel Sturm's €2.5m valuation

Slavia Praha paid €4.0m for Danijel Sturm. The market value recorded against him at the time was €2.5m. The difference is €1.5m, and the ratio is 1.60×.

Of the 3 deals into the Czech National Football League in 2026/27 where both a fee and a valuation are on record, 0 were done at a higher multiple than this one — 0% 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.
