The model rates Marvin Pieringer's performance-implied value at EUR 2.3M-5.1M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.1M-3.2M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.3M-3.8M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.92x the positional average in the league (1655 minutes, league coefficient 0.94).

Acquisition note: Final year of contract: selling club's leverage is reduced.
