Dashed line: current market value (€140M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Vitinha's performance-implied value at EUR 41.1M-90.2M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 106.9M-169.6M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 67.8M-105.9M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.16x the positional average in the league (2121 minutes, league coefficient 0.88).
