Lucas Olaza
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Lucas Olaza's performance-implied value at EUR 2.4M-7.5M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.9M-2.6M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.0M-2.1M.

Risk profile
Overall: High

- ⚠No continental-competition minutes last season.
- ⚠League level estimated mainly from squad values (few matches vs other leagues).
- ⚠Contract ends in 12 months: cheaper, but competition and wage demands likely.
- ⚠Age 32: resale value typically declines.
- ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
