Projected value (24 months)€1.4M – €2.9M
Dashed line: current market value (€5.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Ellyes Skhiri's performance-implied value at EUR 2.8M-6.5M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.5M-4.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.4M-2.9M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.34x the positional average in the league (1442 minutes, league coefficient 0.94). Confidence is medium: 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.
