Dashed line: current market value (€20.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Johan Bakayoko's performance-implied value at EUR 6.9M-28.7M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 14.2M-24.6M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 10.1M-27.9M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.67x the positional average in the league (774 minutes, league coefficient 0.94). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
