Dashed line: current market value (€55.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Kai Havertz's performance-implied value at EUR 35.0M-51.8M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 38.7M-83.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 20.7M-49.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.64x the positional average in the league (583 minutes, league coefficient 1.30). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
