Dashed line: current market value (€23.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Raphael Onyedika's performance-implied value at EUR 4.5M-19.9M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 9.5M-22.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 10.9M-26.6M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.42x the positional average in the league (1688 minutes, league coefficient 0.65). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

Acquisition note: Final year of contract: selling club's leverage is reduced.
