Model value (performance-implied)€431k – €1.1M
Projected value (24 months)€495k – €1.6M
Dashed line: current market value (€1.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Jakob Kiilerich's performance-implied value at EUR 0.4M-1.1M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.4M-1.0M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.5M-1.6M. 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.
