Value picture

Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.

Model value (performance-implied)€492k – €1.5M
Projected value (24 months)€1.7M – €4.5M
Dashed line: current market value (€4.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Darko Nejasmic's performance-implied value at EUR 0.5M-1.5M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.1M-3.5M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.7M-4.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.98x the positional average in the league (2311 minutes, league coefficient 0.43). 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 0.43 (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.

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.
