The model rates Botond Balogh's performance-implied value at EUR 0.8M-1.8M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.9M-2.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.1M-3.4M.

Risk profile

Overall: High

  • ⚠Limited sample: 1657 league minutes last season.
  • ⚠League level coefficient 0.40 (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.
  • ⚠Declining trajectory versus previous season.
  • ⓘ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.
