Value picture

Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.

Estimated acquisition€526k – €1.7M
Model value (performance-implied)€1.3M – €3.6M
Projected value (24 months)€697k – €2.3M
Dashed line: current market value (€2.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Renato Sanches's performance-implied value at EUR 1.3M-3.6M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.5M-1.7M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.7M-2.3M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.00x the positional average in the league (471 minutes, league coefficient 0.43). Confidence is low: 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: Very High

  • ▲Small sample: 471 league minutes last season.
  • ⚠League level coefficient 0.43 (1.00 = big-five average): output may not translate.
  • ⚠Contract ends in 12 months: cheaper, but competition and wage demands likely.
  • ⚠Projection range wider than for most evaluated players.
  • ⚠Played under 40% of available league minutes (injury data unavailable, cause unknown).
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
