Capaldo’s market value is 5 million euros and would only outbid Ransford Königsdörffer (23) with 6 million euros in the HSV squad. The Argentinian could close the gap in the central midfield at the Bundesliga promoter, which has been gaping since the 7 million exit from Ludovit Reis (25) Gen Club Bruges. Capaldo has stood on the pitch in 126 games for Salzburg since 2021, when he came from Ca Boca Juniors for 4.5 million euros. He was mainly used as a eighth, but occasionally he also ran as a right -wing defender or winger.
The market value of the U23 national player reached its climax one year after his arrival in Salzburg and was at this level until last summer before there was a correction of EUR 3 million and has remained unchanged since then. For Salzburg, this summer is the last opportunity to achieve adequate transfer for Capaldo, as the contract will expire in the coming year. Finally, Aek Athens was also associated with him.
