Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Churín.

Judged on this season alone, Churín graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 56 of the 56 centre-forwards in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 21 appearances (0.211 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 55th of 56 of the 56 centre-forwards in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 36 Churín is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 21 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.21 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 36, 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 12.7, Churín carries the 55th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 56 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.21 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
