Value picture

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

Model value (performance-implied)€988k – €2.8M
Projected value (24 months)€414k – €933k
Dashed line: current market value (€900k). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Olivier Giroud's performance-implied value at EUR 1.0M-2.8M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.3M-1.0M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.4M-0.9M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.74x the positional average in the league (1610 minutes, league coefficient 0.88). 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.

  • ⚠Limited sample: 1610 league minutes last season.
  • ⚠Contract ends in 12 months: cheaper, but competition and wage demands likely.
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
