Projected value (24 months)€9.4M – €24.2M
Dashed line: current market value (€23.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Nicolò Rovella's performance-implied value at EUR 5.3M-37.9M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 15.8M-28.0M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 9.4M-24.2M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.15x the positional average in the league (512 minutes, league coefficient 0.93). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
