Projected value (24 months)€466k – €1.2M
Dashed line: current market value (€1.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Iván Barbero's performance-implied value at EUR 0.8M-2.1M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.4M-1.0M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.5M-1.2M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.14x the positional average in the league (1904 minutes, league coefficient 0.58). 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.

Risk profile

Overall: Moderate

  • ⚠League level coefficient 0.58 (1.00 = big-five average): output may not translate.
  • ⚠No continental-competition minutes last season.
  • ⚠Contract ends in 12 months: cheaper, but competition and wage demands likely.
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
