Dashed line: current market value (€7.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Nikola Moro's performance-implied value at EUR 3.9M-14.5M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 2.5M-6.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 2.5M-6.7M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.80x the positional average in the league (1798 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.
