Projected value (24 months)€665k – €1.8M
Dashed line: current market value (€1.8M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Thomas Lemar's performance-implied value at EUR 2.2M-4.2M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.5M-1.7M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.7M-1.8M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.20x the positional average in the league (1259 minutes, league coefficient 0.95). 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.
