C. Gruezo is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Santos Laguna, rated 19.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 306th of 341 in the Liga MX. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.29 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gruezo.
Judged on this season alone, Gruezo graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 45th of 58 of the 58 central midfielders in the Liga MX, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.285 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 55th of 58 of the 58 central midfielders in the Liga MX. At 31 Gruezo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 19.1, Gruezo carries the 55th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga MX of 58 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~5), then tapers with age. At 31, Gruezo sits on 2.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Gruezo's projected Rating — 19.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
