Value picture

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

Model value (performance-implied)€4.5M – €6.8M
Projected value (24 months)€997k – €2.4M
Dashed line: current market value (€4.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Vincenzo Grifo's performance-implied value at EUR 4.5M-6.8M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.1M-3.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.0M-2.4M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.96x the positional average in the league (1715 minutes, league coefficient 0.94). 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.
