Dashed line: current market value (€30.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Jean-Philippe Mateta's performance-implied value at EUR 30.5M-64.0M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 12.4M-32.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 9.7M-20.3M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.91x the positional average in the league (2223 minutes, league coefficient 1.30). 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.
