Denis Suárez is a 32-year-old central midfielder at Alaves, rated 30.2 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (41.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.01 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Suárez.

On the season, Suárez graded 21 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.011 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 21 → 21). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30. At 32 Suárez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.9% 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

Rated 30.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
