Projected value (24 months)€1.3M – €2.8M
Dashed line: current market value (€5.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Ayoze Pérez's performance-implied value at EUR 3.4M-7.4M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 2.3M-6.1M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.3M-2.8M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.05x the positional average in the league (1122 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.

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. Market values, fees and contracts come from third-party sources; ranges are model estimates with stated confidence.
