Value picture

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

Estimated acquisition€2.5M – €7.0M
Model value (performance-implied)€3.7M – €7.7M
Projected value (24 months)€2.1M – €4.6M
Dashed line: current market value (€9.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Emerson's performance-implied value at EUR 3.7M-7.7M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 2.5M-7.0M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 2.1M-4.6M. 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.
