Projected value (24 months)€514k – €1.2M
Dashed line: current market value (€1.8M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Pathé Ciss's performance-implied value at EUR 1.5M-3.7M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.5M-1.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.5M-1.2M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.87x the positional average in the league (1994 minutes, league coefficient 0.95). 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.

MoneyballAI identifies statistical opportunities from available data. A player flagged as a potential bargain is not guaranteed to succeed, to transfer, to rise in value, or to generate resale profit. Market values, fees and contracts come from third-party sources; ranges are model estimates with stated confidence.
