Value picture

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

Model value (performance-implied)€2.1M – €5.2M
Projected value (24 months)€872k – €2.1M
Dashed line: current market value (€3.2M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Marten de Roon's performance-implied value at EUR 2.1M-5.2M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.0M-2.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.9M-2.1M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.73x the positional average in the league (2704 minutes, league coefficient 0.93). 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.

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.
