The model rates Aleksandr Golovin's performance-implied value at EUR 5.8M-9.3M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 8.5M-17.2M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 4.2M-9.9M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.10x the positional average in the league (1661 minutes, league coefficient 0.88).
