Value picture

Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.

Model value (performance-implied)€553k – €2.1M
Projected value (24 months)€272k – €609k
Dashed line: current market value (€800k). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Benito Raman's performance-implied value at EUR 0.6M-2.1M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.2M-0.8M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.3M-0.6M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.34x the positional average in the league (769 minutes, league coefficient 0.65). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

Acquisition note: Final year of contract: selling club's leverage is reduced.
