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

The model rates Ibrahima Sissoko's performance-implied value at EUR 1.3M-4.3M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.8M-2.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.7M-1.9M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.88x the positional average in the league (804 minutes, league coefficient 0.88). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
