Manuel Ugarte
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Manuel Ugarte's performance-implied value at EUR 19.9M-36.4M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 16.0M-36.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 13.6M-26.7M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.36x the positional average in the league (881 minutes, league coefficient 1.30).
