Dashed line: current market value (€1.2M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Fabio Ferraro's performance-implied value at EUR 0.8M-2.0M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.4M-1.1M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.6M-2.1M.

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.
