Value picture

Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.

Model value (performance-implied)€598k – €984k
Projected value (24 months)€994k – €2.7M
Dashed line: current market value (€2.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Sékou Koïta's performance-implied value at EUR 0.6M-1.0M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.7M-2.0M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.0M-2.7M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.97x the positional average in the league (1813 minutes, league coefficient 0.40). 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.

Risk profile

Overall: Moderate

  • ⚠League level coefficient 0.40 (1.00 = big-five average): output may not translate.
  • ⚠No continental-competition minutes last season.
  • ⚠Contract ends in 12 months: cheaper, but competition and wage demands likely.
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.

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.
