Model value (performance-implied)€220k – €745k
Projected value (24 months)€304k – €544k
Dashed line: current market value (€500k). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Dante's performance-implied value at EUR 0.2M-0.7M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.1M-0.7M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.3M-0.5M. 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.

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. Market values, fees and contracts come from third-party sources; ranges are model estimates with stated confidence.
