Model value (performance-implied)€2.4M – €7.5M
Projected value (24 months)€980k – €2.1M
Dashed line: current market value (€3.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

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. 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.

Risk profile

Overall: High

  • ⚠League level coefficient 0.56 (1.00 = big-five average): output may not translate.
  • ⚠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.

MoneyballAI identifies statistical opportunities from available data. A player flagged as a potential bargain is not guaranteed to succeed, to transfer, to rise in value, or to generate resale profit.
