On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 34th of 44 of the 44 central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League. At 32 Claes is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 17) 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.
With a Rating of 18.4, Claes carries the 34th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League of 44. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 32, Claes sits on 4.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Claes's projected Rating — 18.4 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.
