Dashed line: current market value (€2.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Alessio Castro-Montes's performance-implied value at EUR 1.8M-3.6M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.9M-2.7M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.7M-2.1M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.66x the positional average in the league (812 minutes, league coefficient 0.94). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
