Outlook

With a Rating of 20.4, Ricca carries the 84th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 112 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~8), then tapers with age. At 31, Ricca sits on 3.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ricca's projected Rating — 20.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
