Career report
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Peak: 2022/23Trending downBreakout: 2022/23StreakyStepped up 2023/24
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2024/25) across 2 clubs — 147 appearances with 1 goal contributions as a goalkeeper.
His best campaign on record is 2022/23 at Levante — Season rating 58, 0 goals and 1 assist in 36 games. 2022/23 was the leap — Season rating up 51 points at Levante. Form has slipped 51 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 51 Season points.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±22 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2023/24 (La Liga) and kept playing — 37 games that season.
