Olimpia's president, Rodrigo “Coto” Nogués, revealed the club's valuation for rising Paraguayan football talent Eduardo Delmás, stating he is worth between $8 and $10 million. Nogués described Delmás as the "jewel of Paraguayan football" during an interview with Cardinal Deportivo.

For us, Eduardo Delmás is worth between 8 and 10 million dollars to start talking.

To safeguard their asset, Olimpia secured Delmás with a four-year contract extension earlier this year. The deal includes a significant, undisclosed release clause, providing financial security for the club. Nogués expressed confidence in Delmás's commitment, noting his strong connection to the club.

I believe he is the jewel of football, of Paraguayan football, today.

— Rodrigo “Coto” NoguésDescribing Eduardo Delmás's current standing in Paraguayan football.

Delmás's ascent to the first team was initially driven by the need to meet the Paraguayan Football Association's youth player minutes requirement. However, his exceptional performances, skill, and strong personality quickly made him an indispensable part of the starting lineup based purely on merit.

We put in a very high termination clause that has a confidentiality clause, I can't say it. But we are covered.

— Rodrigo NoguésDetailing the financial protection in Delmás's contract.

In his breakout semester, the young attacking midfielder played 20 matches – 15 in the local Apertura tournament and 5 in the Copa Sudamericana. He contributed two goals and two assists, demonstrating his impact on the field.

Edu is more of an Olimpia fan than all of us.
