Dashed line: current market value (€10.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Mathias Jensen's performance-implied value at EUR 11.8M-16.7M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 2.5M-7.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 2.8M-7.3M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.76x the positional average in the league (2252 minutes, league coefficient 1.30). 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.
