Marten de Roon
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
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.
