Dashed line: current market value (€6.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Leonardo Lelo's performance-implied value at EUR 1.2M-6.7M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 3.5M-6.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 2.8M-7.7M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.82x the positional average in the league (1838 minutes, league coefficient 0.58). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
