Value picture

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

Estimated acquisition€623k – €2.4M
Model value (performance-implied)€2.3M – €4.9M
Projected value (24 months)€752k – €1.8M
Dashed line: current market value (€2.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

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). 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.
