Danilo Cataldi
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Danilo Cataldi's performance-implied value at EUR 2.1M-8.9M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.1M-3.1M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.1M-2.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.78x the positional average in the league (1993 minutes, league coefficient 0.93). 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.
