Clean sheets

4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.8% 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 26, Castro carries the 72nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 91. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
