Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

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 (~30), then tapers with age. At 34, Soares sits on 8.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Soares's projected Rating — 22.6 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.
