Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
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).

Acquisition note: Final year of contract: selling club's leverage is reduced.
