The file
The skouted.ai steals board is usually dominated by South Americans. Monday’s most interesting European-adjacent entry is Australian: Kavian Rahmani, a 19-year-old Melbourne City winger rated 71 OVR, valued at €470K to €760K, with a UV score of 99 and a deal score of 84. Contract runs to 2027, nine months out, high data confidence.
The model’s reason: “UV score of 99 signals significant undervaluation. Contract expiring in 9 months, available at a discount. 19 years old, high development upside.”
Built by the City Football Group machine
Rahmani is a pure academy product of Melbourne City, the City Football Group club that has become Oceania’s most reliable exporter. He signed professional terms in 2024, debuted in the 2024-25 season, and announced himself on October 25, 2025 with his first league goal.
The 2025-26 season made him a local name: a decisive winner away at Newcastle Jets, a near-post assist for Max Caputo against Macarthur that commentators called “made in the Melbourne City academy”, and at season’s end the club’s Rising Star award. He has represented Australia at under-19 level.
Why the number 99 matters
A 71 OVR at 19 in the A-League is a strong baseline, comparable to the teenage ratings of recent A-League exports who moved to Europe’s top five leagues. The UV score of 99 means the model sees the current €760K ceiling price as dramatically below expected career value.
The pathway is proven. The A-League to Europe corridor has moved wingers and forwards into the Bundesliga, Belgium and the Netherlands for years, almost always at seven-figure fees from sub-million valuations. Rahmani fits the template exactly: two-footed winger, academy-trained in a European-style pressing system, international youth experience.
Every component of the classic pre-export profile is present: teenage breakout, club award, youth international caps, a 99 UV score, and a contract with only nine months of protection. The only thing missing is the bid.
AI Verdict: Strong Buy
This is the strongest age-to-price ratio on Monday’s board. A buying club is acquiring a 19-year-old with a documented breakout season, in a federation that produces technically clean exports, at a valuation below many League One squad players. For clubs in Belgium, the Netherlands, Scandinavia or the Scottish Premiership, this is a now-or-January decision.
