Watkins valued at 58.3M euros behind Kane
Al Hilal Saudi Club is finalizing the transfer of English striker Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa for €58.3 million, making him the second most expensive striker aged 30 or older in football history, surpassing Robert Lewandowski and Bernardo Batistuta. The deal is contingent upon the English club successfully securing a replacement for the forward, with Watkins expected to sign a three-year contract with Al Hilal. Watkins's current market value is €25 million, but his transfer fee exceeds twice his market valuation, representing a significant profit for Aston Villa, who paid €34 million to acquire him in 2020 and earned a net profit of €24.3 million from his sale. This transfer comes as part of an active transfer market for Al Hilal, amid expectations of major deals, with Aston Villa preparing to fill the gap by signing Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea for a total estimated value of €75.8 million.
