Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

C. Salcedo is a 32-year-old central defender at Monterrey, rated 17.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 311th of 340 on scout potential in the Liga MX. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (36% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Salcedo.

Judged on this season alone, Salcedo graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 45th of 65 of the 65 centre-backs in the Liga MX, on 3 clean sheets and 2.405 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 13).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 61st of 65 of the 65 centre-backs in the Liga MX. At 32 Salcedo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 17.5, Salcedo carries the 61st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 65, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Monterrey finished 13th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
