In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.56 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.

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 (~50), then tapers with age. At 21, Goto sits on 44.8, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Goto's projected Rating — 62.3 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.
