Projected value (24 months)€254k – €509k
Dashed line: current market value (€800k). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Marco Ilaimaharitra's performance-implied value at EUR 0.5M-1.5M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.2M-0.7M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.3M-0.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.29x the positional average in the league (1990 minutes, league coefficient 0.65). 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.
