Projected value (24 months)€796k – €2.3M
Dashed line: current market value (€2.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Grady Diangana's performance-implied value at EUR 3.1M-4.6M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.7M-1.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.8M-2.3M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.85x the positional average in the league (929 minutes, league coefficient 0.95). 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.
