Model value (performance-implied)€6.6M – €18.0M
Projected value (24 months)€4.1M – €10.3M
Dashed line: current market value (€10.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Nikola Vlašić's performance-implied value at EUR 6.6M-18.0M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 3.4M-8.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 4.1M-10.3M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.50x the positional average in the league (3055 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: Final year of contract: selling club's leverage is reduced.
