Projected value (24 months)€2.4M – €12.0M
Dashed line: current market value (€4.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Joseph Opoku's performance-implied value at EUR 0.7M-2.7M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 2.3M-6.6M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 2.4M-12.0M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.38x the positional average in the league (2033 minutes, league coefficient 0.65). Confidence is medium: 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.
