Dashed line: current market value (€2.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Giuseppe Pezzella's performance-implied value at EUR 2.0M-5.6M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.7M-2.0M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.9M-2.2M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.66x the positional average in the league (2591 minutes, league coefficient 0.93).
