Bernardo
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Bernardo's performance-implied value at EUR 1.6M-6.3M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.0M-3.1M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.0M-2.5M. 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.
