Where the +37 skill term comes from
Not a reputation, a measurement. We score every shot in the data ourselves and rank him among minutes-qualified peers; a fixed arithmetic turns that rank into points.

- scored from
- the CC0 Transfermarkt community mirror; a market-consensus quality prior, taken at a capped weight where it reads a player higher than our (fixed, partial) shot/event data can
- the arithmetic
- 46 pts/σ × z(94.8th) = 46 × 1.63 × 0.5 (position weight) = +37
A forward-only shadow signal, as of 2026-03-27. The skill term comes from our own xG models over the open archive; the rest is earned, recorded per appearance, auditable, never back-filled. It never moves a live call.

What he’d cost · our estimate
€11m–€42m ≈ €21m
Not a figure from any valuation site; we don’t republish those. Our own model: the level he plays at, what we’ve measured of him, his age and his role. A band, not a point: we can’t see contract length or release clauses, the two biggest real drivers, so we say so.

The fee record · sourced
The market’s last public word: €3.2m (2021-08). Our estimate today: ≈ €21m. The gap is evidence, many of them, together, recalibrate our model; no single one rewrites him.
our read: undervalued , we rate him 569% above his last market price (a gem signal, context only)
