The model rates Rodrigo Pinheiro's performance-implied value at EUR 0.9M-4.1M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 2.3M-5.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 3.4M-9.2M.

Overall: Moderate

  • ⚠League level coefficient 0.58 (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.
