M. Uribe is a 35-year-old defensive midfielder at Atletico Nacional, enjoying a standout season — 2 goals and 5 assists in 27 appearances, a Season grade of 19, top 39% of Primera A defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 7, ranking 377th of 421 in the Primera A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (38.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.65 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Uribe.

Judged on this season alone, Uribe graded 19 — a solid campaign that ranks top 40% of the 28 defensive midfielders in the Primera A, on 2 goals, 5 assists and 2.647 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 46 → 19). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 27th of 28 of the 28 defensive midfielders in the Primera A. At 35 Uribe is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 2 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 7, Uribe carries the 27th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera A of 28. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
