The model rates Jonathan Gradit's performance-implied value at EUR 0.6M-1.8M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.0M-2.8M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.5M-1.4M. Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

MoneyballAI identifies statistical opportunities from available data. A player flagged as a potential bargain is not guaranteed to succeed, to transfer, to rise in value, or to generate resale profit.
