Model value (performance-implied)€3.1M – €9.1M
Projected value (24 months)€1.2M – €3.1M
Dashed line: current market value (€4.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Bertrand Traoré's performance-implied value at EUR 3.1M-9.1M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.2M-5.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.2M-3.1M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.16x the positional average in the league (702 minutes, league coefficient 1.30). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

Acquisition note: Contract end date unavailable: range widened by 15% each side.
