€14.5m under the valuation: Ladislav Krejci moved to Wolves at 0.34× his market price

The fee, the valuation, and the 66% gap between them — read against every priced deal the EFL Championship did in 2026/27.

Of the 4 deals into the EFL Championship in 2026/27 where both a fee and a valuation are on record, 3 were done at a higher multiple than this one — 75% 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.
