The Onside Brief

Medical22 sources · since 16 June

This saga is over — the move did not happen. Onside tracked it from 16 June across 22 independent reports, led by Fabrizio Romano.

The reported €200M is 2122% above the Onside valuation of €9M — an aggressive premium our model treats with caution; either the price is inflated or the market knows something the model doesn't yet.

Written by the Onside data engine from tracked reporting, deal stage and the live valuation — updated as the saga moves.
