Ricardo Pepi
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Ricardo Pepi's performance-implied value at EUR 6.0M-14.6M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 22.9M-41.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 16.4M-43.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.76x the positional average in the league (1415 minutes, league coefficient 0.43).
