Value picture

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

Model value (performance-implied)€1.6M – €3.7M
Projected value (24 months)€799k – €1.9M
Dashed line: current market value (€2.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Gerard Moreno's performance-implied value at EUR 1.6M-3.7M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.8M-2.6M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.8M-1.9M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.95x the positional average in the league (1350 minutes, league coefficient 0.95). 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.
