Luka Modrić
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Luka Modrić's performance-implied value at EUR 1.0M-4.9M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.3M-4.5M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.4M-3.0M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.04x the positional average in the league (2816 minutes, league coefficient 0.93). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
Acquisition note: Contract end date unavailable: range widened by 15% each side.
Bargain Index: not assigned
