Projected value (24 months)€1.3M – €3.6M
Dashed line: current market value (€3.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Riccardo Sottil's performance-implied value at EUR 2.2M-6.8M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.0M-2.5M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.3M-3.6M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.13x the positional average in the league (1072 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.
