Renato Sanches
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
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.
Bargain Index: not assigned
What drives the score. Not a black box: each component and its level.

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.
