Nemanja Matić
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Nemanja Matić's performance-implied value at EUR 0.6M-1.1M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.5M-1.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.5M-1.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.97x the positional average in the league (2670 minutes, league coefficient 0.93). 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.
