Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Marc Bernal's performance-implied value at EUR 8.1M-31.1M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 23.2M-48.8M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 24.6M-91.2M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.88x the positional average in the league (787 minutes, league coefficient 0.95). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
