Model value (performance-implied)€8.1M – €28.2M
Projected value (24 months)€4.0M – €11.1M
Dashed line: current market value (€15.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Riccardo Orsolini's performance-implied value at EUR 8.1M-28.2M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 4.9M-12.2M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 4.0M-11.1M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.08x the positional average in the league (2117 minutes, league coefficient 0.93). 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.

MoneyballAI identifies statistical opportunities from available data. A player flagged as a potential bargain is not guaranteed to succeed, to transfer, to rise in value, or to generate resale profit. Market values, fees and contracts come from third-party sources; ranges are model estimates with stated confidence.
