Projected value (24 months)€884k – €2.3M
Dashed line: current market value (€3.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Mario Götze's performance-implied value at EUR 1.0M-2.8M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.2M-3.1M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.9M-2.3M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.47x the positional average in the league (879 minutes, league coefficient 0.94). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
