Projected value (24 months)€2.6M – €6.0M
Dashed line: current market value (€12.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Jacob Murphy's performance-implied value at EUR 13.1M-25.5M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 3.9M-10.7M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 2.6M-6.0M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.77x the positional average in the league (1620 minutes, league coefficient 1.30). 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.
