Lassina Traoré
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Lassina Traoré's performance-implied value at EUR 1.5M-6.2M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 4.3M-9.8M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 2.8M-9.6M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.12x the positional average in the league (876 minutes, league coefficient 0.25). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
