2.07× the market's number: what Widzew Lodz paid over Przemysław Wiśniewski's €1.5m valuation

Widzew Lodz paid €3.1m for Przemysław Wiśniewski. The market value recorded against him at the time was €1.5m. The difference is €1.6m, and the ratio is 2.07×.

Of the 77 deals into Ekstraklasa in 2025/26 where both a fee and a valuation are on record, 2 were done at a higher multiple than this one — 3% 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.
