Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Tom Rothe's performance-implied value at EUR 2.8M-7.9M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 6.0M-16.1M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 4.9M-21.0M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.04x the positional average in the league (1024 minutes, league coefficient 0.94).
