Clean sheets

3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 83.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.8, Romero carries the 13th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga MX of 30. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
