On long-term scout potential he's rated 14.2, ranking 466th of 493 in the Liga Profesional Argentina. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (51.5% of available minutes).

Judged on this season alone, Rojo graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 70th of 101 of the 101 centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina, on 4 clean sheets and 3.156 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 24). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 95th of 101 of the 101 centre-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 1.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.5% 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 14.2, Rojo carries the 95th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 101 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
