Scout report

M. Rojo is a 36-year-old full-back at Estudiantes L.P., rated 8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 511th of 553 on scout potential in the Liga Profesional Argentina. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (7.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rojo.

Judged on this season alone, Rojo graded 1 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 84 of the 84 full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 4 clean sheets and 2 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 1). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 79th of 84 of the 84 full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 36 Rojo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 7.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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 8, Rojo carries the 79th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 84. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
