Value picture

Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.

Model value (performance-implied)€965k – €3.2M
Projected value (24 months)€505k – €1.4M
Dashed line: current market value (€1.6M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Iago Aspas's performance-implied value at EUR 1.0M-3.2M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.5M-1.7M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.5M-1.4M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.00x the positional average in the league (1130 minutes, league coefficient 0.95). 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.
