The rising star the market forgot to sign
Every morning the skouted.ai model scans 11,197 players and ranks the highest-upside undervalued talents in world football. Near the top of today’s rising stars board sits Juho Talvitie, a 20-year-old Finnish central midfielder at NAC Breda, and the detail that should stop every sporting director mid-coffee: his contract status is listed as expired.
A 71 OVR midfielder with 27 Eredivisie appearances at 20, a UV score of 99, a market value of €4.7M to €7.7M, and no club holds his registration. In a market where 20-year-olds with a third of his top-flight experience command eight-figure fees, that combination barely exists.
What the numbers say
Talvitie’s 2025 season in the Dutch top flight, per the model:
| Season | Club | Apps | Goals | Assists | Minutes | G+A/90 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | NAC Breda | 27 | 3 | 2 | 1,399 | 0.32 |
Five direct goal contributions in under 1,400 minutes is solid, not spectacular. But development curves matter more than snapshots. The model tags him with a UV score of 99, its maximum undervaluation signal, with high data confidence, and the scouting report highlights his passing range as the primary weapon at an age when most Finnish midfielders are still in the Veikkausliiga.
The profile
Left-footed, 177cm, 70kg, deployed as a central midfielder in a NAC Breda side that spent the season fighting at the wrong end of the Eredivisie. The report flags defensive work rate as the development area, standard for a 20-year-old creator, and notes that his trajectory is the key factor in the valuation. Players with his minutes in a top-six European league at his age rarely reach free agency.
Why he is still available
- NAC's size. Breda cannot compete financially when bigger Dutch clubs circle, so their best young players leave on short contracts rather than long ones.
- Contract expiry. The model shows his deal ran into 2026 with negative months remaining, meaning the registration question is now live and unresolved in public reporting.
- Finland's visibility problem. Finnish internationals get scouted late. The model's 99 UV score is essentially the market's information gap made visible.
A 20-year-old Eredivisie regular with a 99 undervaluation score and an expired contract is the closest thing to a market error the model can show you.
AI Verdict: Strong Buy
Free or near-free acquisition cost, high data confidence, top-flight experience at 20, and the model’s maximum undervaluation signal. If even a mid-table European club lands him for a compensation figure, the upside multiples are the best on today’s entire rising board.
