A career still climbing — Franco is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~78), then tapers with age. At 27, Franco sits on 78.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Franco's projected Rating — 59.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
