Of the 144 deals into Serie A in 2025/26 where both a fee and a valuation are on record, 2 were done at a higher multiple than this one — 1% of them. That is what makes this price ordinary or unusual: its own league, its own season, not a feeling about the player.

A market value is the market's estimate, not a price tag, and a club paying above or below one is doing business, not making a mistake. What the gap measures is how far this club's read sat from the consensus — nothing about how the player performs next.
