Close this one. Officially signed for Dortmund this morning.
I wish.
I can only imagine what Freiburg will be asking for and I imagine the bigger German clubs will be all over him too.
I'm guessing he'll be going for around 15mil+ but wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being closer to 20mil.
Just wait.
He may not have featured, but being in a world cup winning squad also artificially boosts value. Not to mention his value was already extremely high to begin with.
He's also been heavily linked to Dortmund and it's a move he'd like to happen.
He'll be over 10 million easily. Guaranteed.
10m euros was the price, along the lines that I expected (said high 7 figures in the ITK thread when it was talked about).
They sold Cisse, their best player and top scorer for £9m. The fee wont top £12m
Not in the Bundesliga it hasn't.
Chalhanoglu went for just under £13m, Ginter will not go for more than that.
In fact, Kruse went for £2m last year.
Two, million, pounds.
Ginter will definitely not be above 15m this summer and is probably closer to about 10m. The World Cup will not inflate the value on a player who did not feature.
The monetary values for Bundesliga footballers were just updated a couple of days ago on Transfermarkt.de, and Ginter is currently valued at 10,56 Million £.
Those are obviously estimates (and not set in stone by any means), but nevertheless gives you an idea of what to expect. The rule of thumb (at least one that's worked for me so far), is to tack on approx. 30% of the total monetary value, and that usually puts me in the ballpark of the max transfer fee for the given player.
So in regards to Ginter, let's add about 3.5 mil or so on top of the 10.5, and you're not too far off from your initial estimate of 15 mil.
14 Million £ is the absolute tops for his transfer fee, or so my educated "guesstimate" leads me to believe.
shame....he has huge potential and wasn't expensive
