Projected value (24 months)€4.4M – €9.9M
Dashed line: current market value (€22.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Bernardo Silva's performance-implied value at EUR 25.4M-47.6M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 8.6M-22.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 4.4M-9.9M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.42x the positional average in the league (2888 minutes, league coefficient 1.30). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
