6 goals in 14 appearances (0.43 per game) for a mid-table side.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.7 goal contributions per 90 (0.7 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 38, 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 4.9, Menéndez carries the 88th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primera Nacional of 91 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.7 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
