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 5.1, Palacios carries the 39th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primera División of 40 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.54 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Value & potential by age

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 22–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 35, Palacios sits on 0.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Palacios's projected Rating — 5.1 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.
