Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Pascal Groß's performance-implied value at EUR 2.3M-4.9M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.6M-2.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.8M-1.8M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.82x the positional average in the league (2252 minutes, league coefficient 1.30).
