Model value (performance-implied)€2.2M – €7.9M
Projected value (24 months)€1.2M – €4.1M
Dashed line: current market value (€4.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Rafa Mir's performance-implied value at EUR 2.2M-7.9M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.5M-4.0M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.2M-4.1M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.06x the positional average in the league (1810 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.
