Clayton
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Clayton's performance-implied value at EUR 1.0M-4.4M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 3.3M-6.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 2.3M-6.1M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.40x the positional average in the league (1690 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.
