The model rates Mads Larsen's performance-implied value at EUR 0.5M-1.7M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.6M-1.8M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.9M-2.2M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.63x the positional average in the league (1768 minutes, league coefficient 0.47). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

Acquisition note: Around 18 months left: some discount usually possible.
