Krzysztof Piątek, the Polish striker, is making waves in the Turkish football league with his impressive performance in the 2024/2025 season. With 19 goals in 27 matches, he is currently the second-best scorer in the league, only behind Victor Osimhen of Galatasaray. His recent goal in the match against Konyaspor helped Basaksehir secure a 1-0 win, and his overall performance has sparked interest from top clubs in Turkey and abroad.
According to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Piątek’s transfer price could be as high as €10 million, considering his impressive form and the interest from top clubs. Sabuncuoglu believes that Piątek’s departure from Basaksehir is imminent, given the club’s current sixth place in the league table with 42 points, just six points behind the fourth-placed Besiktas, which is the last spot guaranteeing a place in European competitions.
The current record transfer sale for Basaksehir is Cengiz Under, who was sold to Roma for €14.25 million in the 2017/2018 season. While Piątek may not break this record, he is likely to be one of the top-selling players in the club’s history.
Piątek’s contract with Basaksehir expires in June 2026, and according to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €7 million. However, given his impressive form and the interest from top clubs, his price could significantly increase in the near future.
Turkish clubs such as Trabzonspor and Galatasaray have already shown interest in signing Piątek, and Sabuncuoglu believes that the striker could make a move to one of these clubs in the summer transfer window. However, he notes that Piątek’s price could be too high for Trabzonspor, and Galatasaray may not be interested in signing him as they are more focused on keeping Osimhen, who is reportedly being courted by top European clubs.
The winter transfer window saw interest from MLS clubs, but Piątek ultimately decided to stay with Basaksehir. However, Sabuncuoglu believes that Piątek’s impressive form and the interest from top clubs will lead to a transfer in the summer window.
With his impressive performance and rising popularity, Krzysztof Piątek is poised to become one of the top players in Turkish football, and his transfer price could reflect his growing reputation.
