Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.7, Córdoba carries the 6th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League (top 14%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
